Rushing the construction of the Peltokaaren daycare centre

Initiative done  Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Sirniö Emmi Initiative status Processed

There is currently a severe shortage of early childhood education places in Jokela. Places are not available at local nurseries, or even necessarily in the same village. This is a major problem for many parents, especially those without cars. During the spring, the municipality plans to consider how to increase the number of early childhood education places, for example by renting premises or using private nurseries.

However, we believe that the municipality should invest in early childhood education by building a new daycare centre where it is most needed. The Peltokaaren daycare centre would be the best option for this. Peltokaaren is already prepared for the construction of a new daycare centre, and there is a plot of land available in the area where the daycare centre could be built.

The Lepola daycare centre, which is closest to the new residential area in Peltokaarre, is the most complete of all the daycare centres in Jokela, and more detached houses and municipal rental properties are constantly being built in Peltokaarre, which will certainly attract many families with children. Local services are important to all residents, so a new daycare centre in Peltokaarre would meet the needs of the community. This would also be an excellent way to market the Peltokaaren area to new families. There are still many plots available in Peltokaaren, so the fact that the municipality is investing in the area and making it more ready for development is a great attraction.

With this initiative, we want the municipality to respond as quickly as possible to the lack of early childhood education places in Jokela and to start planning and implementing the construction of the Peltokaaren daycare centre immediately.
