What does the Finnish approach to education mean?
We are inspired by the Finnish approach to education, which focuses on the well-being of the child, respect, and natural development.
This means that:
- children are not under pressure to perform
- learning happens mainly through play
- we support independence and self-confidence
- we respect each child's individual pace
Our educators are continuously trained in this approach to provide the best possible environment for children..
How does the adaptation process work in your children's group?
We offer a gentle and individual adaptation process for every child.
We understand that starting in a new environment can be a big step, so we focus on:
- a gradual start based on the child's needs
- emotional support and a caring approach
- close communication with parents
- a calm and safe environment in small groups
Our goal is to help each child feel comfortable, secure, and confident from the very beginning.
Do you provide meals for children during the day?
Yes.
Children receive balanced and high-quality meals throughout the day, including snacks, lunch, and a drinking regime.
We also offer menu options to meet individual dietary needs, including lactose-free meals.
We focus on healthy eating habits and a positive mealtime experience.
How many children are in the group?
We work in small groups, which is one of the key differences compared to traditional kindergartens.
A smaller number of children allows us to provide:
- more individual attention
- a personal and caring approach
- higher quality early development
This creates a calm and supportive environment where each child can thrive.
