Teacher in Early Childhood Education and Care

Your ideas turn into excursions – the joy of learning, with your guidance!

We are looking for an early childhood education teacher Seaside International, Espoo

For us at Touhula, children and families are a matter of the heart. Together with them, we create a happy childhood and a good working life- the most beloved ECEC centre that we all share.

At Touhula, early childhood education is much more than plans and routines. It's everyday insights and people who have permission to make a difference. Working in small groups provides an opportunity to be present and have a significant impact on the children's daily lives. Maybe you will be the new Touhula employee, whose influence will leave a warm memory mark far into the future?

Touhula Seaside International – what kind of daycare centre?

We are a truly international daycare with three small groups, where English is the shared working language and a natural part of everyday life. We believe that learning English in the early years supports childrens development and future learning, and we offer an environment where language is acquired naturally through play, interaction, and daily routines. Our community represents more than 30 nationalities, creating a rich, global atmosphere for both children and staff.

Are you fascinated by an international working environment with colleagues from all over the world? Working with us means being part of a tight-knit, motivated, and supportive team that values open communication, collaboration, and a child-centered, customer-oriented approach. Staff feedback highlights our strong team spirit and the genuine feeling of being valued and trusted at work.
