The class is also suitable for children with special needs. The space is not barrier-free.

The class is also suitable for children with special needs.

Pallotaiturit is an exercise group based on the child-adult principle, where we play, exercise, and learn together! The group is aimed at children aged 3–6, and the activities focus particularly on developing motor skills through ball games, obstacle courses, and creative movement.

The most important things in the group are joy, togetherness, and ensuring that every child can move according to their own abilities in a safe and encouraging atmosphere. Children participate in the activity together with their own adult.
