Daycare Käpylinna is a pavilion-style daycare center operating on two floors in the Käpylä district of Helsinki. In our activities, we focus on recognizing the good in every child and enjoy outings, especially in our local surroundings. During the 2025-2026 school year, we pay special attention to friendship and emotional skills, as well as to enjoying books and reading experiences. Daycare Käpylinna and Daycare Herttua form a joint early childhood education unit.
