What Tallinna Liikuri Lasteaed does

Tallinna Liikuri Lasteaed is a municipal kindergarten (munitsipaallasteaed) operated by the City of Tallinn through the Tallinn Education Department (Tallinna Haridusamet), located at Liikuri 9 in the Lasnamäe district of Tallinn, Estonia. Founded in 1990 as Lastepäevakodu No. 17 and renamed in 1999, the institution serves children aged 1.5-7 years across 12 groups (sõime toddler groups, lasteaia kindergarten groups, a compensatory tasandusrühm development group, and Estonian-language immersion groups), with Russian as the primary language of instruction. It operates weekdays 7:00-19:00 with extended-care groups until 19:00, and serves primarily Russian-speaking families in Tallinn's Lasnamäe district. The facility is notable for including an on-site indoor swimming pool offering instruction to children aged 1.5-7 years, and the #EduInnoLab Liikuri Roboaed, a robotics and digital-technology innovation laboratory opened in February 2018 equipped with Bee-bots, Blue-bots, Ozobots, LEGO WeDo, Makey Makey kits, and a GoPro Hero 5 camera.

The business model is a publicly funded, fee-regulated hybrid. The City of Tallinn's municipal budget covers staff salaries, facility maintenance, and operations, channeled through Tallinna Haridusamet. Parent contributions are set by the city and include a monthly placement fee (kohatasu) of 71.25 EUR (78.26 EUR with swimming instruction, effective January 2020), daily food charges of 1.62-2.10 EUR per day set by the kindergarten's Supervisory Council (effective May 2019), and ancillary facility rental at 6 EUR/hour for events. Admissions are centrally managed via the state portal eesti.ee, the Tallinn Education Department, or email with digital signature, with sibling-priority rules. Distribution is direct on-site service delivery; no commercial channels, resellers, or APIs are used. The institution is integrated with internal Estonian educational information systems including ELIIS (attendance and food tracking with parent portal access) and EKIS (document registry), and receives IT maintenance from Tieto Eesti AS. The kindergarten holds a 2007 Ministry of Education training license (No. 4667HTM) and the June 2018 international Green Flag eco-label from the Eco-Schools/Roheline Kool program.
