🇬🇧🇫🇮 Bilingual pedagogy

Bilingual pedagogy is a way to help the children get familiar with a new language. The languages we use are approximately 50% Finnish and 50% English, used in everyday situations and structured activities.

🌏 Pedagogical best practices

We use Finland’s Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) curriculum. We promote and support child’s best interest, individual skills and needs. With children from many different cultures in our daycare, multiculturalism is an inherent part of
our daily life and activities.

🌟 School culture that empowers

Interest and passion for learning unleashed through a daycare culture where being empowered, innovative, and collaborative are at the core – while having fun!

🌳 Holistic learning environment

A safe, holistic environment empowers children by developing the whole child through fun, hands on, academic, socioemotional, cognitive, adaptive, cultural, and physical activities. It provides freedom and autonomy with guidance from the teachers.

🚀 Developing future skills

Our future-ready early years education develops important future skills of collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication to prepare children for their next stage of education.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Mindfulness activities

Guiding children to be present in the moment. Age-appropriate activities increase focus, reduce stress levels, increase learning potential, and help eliminate bullying.

👣 Personalized learning path

Each child is unique. Our curriculum, experienced staff, excellent student-teacher ratio and technology enable our daycare to provide truly personalized education for each child.
