Qualified Early Childhood Education Teacher, Bumblebees Kindergarten Oy, Helsinki

Are you tired of large groups, constant noise, and workdays that feel more like survival than enjoyment?
So are we.

At Bumblebees Kindergarten, we do things differently. We work in small units with small groups of children, where everyday life is calm, predictable, and genuinely positive — for both children and adults.

With us:
– Small group sizes mean less noise and more time for children;
– Daily routines are calm, clear, and child-centred;
– You have time to educate, observe, plan, and truly connect;
– The working atmosphere is supportive, respectful, and team-oriented;
– Leadership trusts professionals and supports pedagogical work;
– Pedagogy is more important than constant rush and chaos.
We are a Cambridge International Kindergarten, implementing project-based pedagogy in a multicultural environment. Above all, we are a workplace where educators are valued as professionals.

Who is this role for?
You don’t have to be perfect.
We hope that you:
– Genuinely enjoy working with children;
– Value calm and high-quality early childhood education;
– Are a positive and collaborative team member;
– Have a strong pedagogical foundation.

We encourage applications from Finnish-speaking teachers with strong English skills as well as international teachers — English-only applicants are also welcome.

What we offer:
– A peaceful working environment with small groups;
– A supportive and warm professional community;
– Opportunities to grow and deepen your pedagogical expertise;
– Leadership that understands the realities of early childhood education;
– A workplace where staff well-being truly matters.

Qualification requirements:
Applicants must meet the statutory qualification requirements for an Early Childhood Education Teacher, meaning:
– A Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, or
– A Bachelors degree in Social Services and Health Care that includes at least 60 ECTS credits in Early Childhood Education.

If your qualification was completed outside Finland, it must be officially recognised by the Finnish National Agency for Education (Opetushallitus).

If you have ever thought this job should be able to feel better than this — you may have just found the right place.
Apply and come experience what a calm kindergarten day can truly feel like.
