5.7 Ekebog Daycare meetings on Wednesdays.

Due to the lack of demand, park operations have been stopped for the time being. However, parents who are at home with their children are warmly welcome to play together with the children of the group family daycare center every Wednesday between 9:15 and 11 am at the Kasavuori playground! This is a great way to get to know Ekebo's activities if the family is interested in a place in the group family daycare center. At the same time, children get used to playing in a group with other children, and parents get to meet other parents who live nearby.

5.14 Open family groups (Grankulla, Thursdays, 9am)

The open family groups are intended to serve as a meeting place for families with young children. It provides the parents with an opportunity to spend time with their children as well as other adults in the same situation.

The children and adults can interact during both the free play time and guided activities. Parents in the groups can work with the group leader to decide on the activity content and planning for future gatherings. Children can participate in the group activities with a parent, grandparent, caregiver or other adult.

Participation in the group is free of charge and does not affect the amount of the family’s child home care allowance. No advance registration is necessary for participation in the family groups. Although the group insurance covers the children during the gathering, they are still the responsibility of their accompanying adult.

Participating adults have the possibility to confidentially discuss matters related to their child’s care, development, upbringing or family situation.

The open family groups meet at Puistokuja daycare centre located at Thurmanin puistotie 1. Parking is located at the intersection of Thurmanin puistotie and Junghansin kuja.
