Early childhood education plans
The early childhood education plan is a curriculum that guides the activities of children under school age and is based on the Early Childhood Education Act and regulations. An individual early childhood education plan is drawn up for each child attending a daycare centre, club or family daycare in collaboration with their guardians.
Early childhood education in Tuusula is based on the values of safety, community spirit, participation and playfulness. The activities are guided by the national early childhood education plan (2022) and the locally developed early childhood education plan.
In Tuusula, children have the opportunity to grow and develop in a safe, sustainably developing and culturally rich home municipality. The aim of early childhood education is to strengthen participation, increase well-being and prevent exclusion. Children grow up as part of a community where they have good opportunities to be active participants.
Local early childhood education plan
Tuusula Municipality has drawn up its own local early childhood education plan, which supplements the national early childhood education plan, specifies its content and highlights locally significant features.
The local early childhood education plan is in the process of updating. We follow the principles of the national early childhood education plan.
Early childhood education plan
An individual early childhood education plan, known as the child´s VASU, is drawn up for every child attending daycare, family daycare or an after-school club. The goals and measures in the early childhood education plan are set for the educators and the learning environment, not for the child. The goals are based on
the child’s strengths and interests, which are also highlighted in the early childhood education plan.
The child’s VASU discussion is held approximately two months after the child has started early childhood education, together with the group educator, guardian(s) and the child. The child participates in the planning process in accordance with their age level. The child’s VASU is assessed together with the guardians every six months or more frequently if the child’s needs so require.
Plans supplementing the early childhood education plan
In Tuusula municipality’s early childhood education, the local early childhood education plan is supplemented by plans for the prevention and intervention of bullying and cultural education in early childhood education.
