Early years education in Tuusula is supported by a fantastic group of volunteers. Volunteers bring warmth, joy and meaningful interactions to everyday life in early years education. In nurseries, shared activities between children of different ages – from woolly-sock walks to forest granny outings and story times with reading grannies – build bridges between generations and strengthen children’s wellbeing, sense of belonging and connection with nature.
