🇬🇧🇫🇮 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.
🚂 Learning through purposeful play
Learning life skills such as exploring, identifying, risk-taking, sharing, turn-taking, negotiating, and leadership while building their friendships through interactions.
👣 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.
📲 Pedagogical management solution to track child’s development
Finnish pedagogical management solution, Kindiedays, connects the daycare and home and shows the daily developmental progress of your child’s learning.
👥 Multiprofessional cooperation
We are working as a team with our different strengths, knowledge and expertise to achieve together common goals. We are building trustful and quality interactions with the guardians to promote joint commitment to children’s development. We are also cooperating with many other professionals in the field of early childhood education. .
