“Research is my passion”, says Arniika Kuusisto. And she is undeniably both energetic and dedicated when she describes her research, which among other things concerns how children's values ​​are created in the preschool environment, how the curriculum and everyday life interplay with pre-school teachers' actions, the values ​​that children have with them as well as what is important and valuable. Arnikka Kussisto is professor at BUV since 2018.
