Children make sense of the world around them through different experiences and observations.
We facilitate these experiences, through various fun, interactive activities and teaching methods.

LAUGHing

Children learn best when they are having fun and are actively engaged; 
they observe more about the world around them.

When children have input and interest in learning activities they will learn faster, retain the knowledge and skills better and have more fun doing it.
 

— When children are busy having fun, learning becomes natural and easy.

— A positive, happy atmosphere builds a safe environment where children learn that they are valued and respected, building their confidence.

— Fun learning is more likely to stay with a child as they grow up.

— Laughter and fun brings people closer, helps them communicate and creates a shared experience and common bond with friends.

— An environment filled with laughter strengthens the relationship of teachers and children.

We disguise learning as play.

English

Research shows the benefits of learning more than one language widens children’s brains development potential and is seen in children's literacy, and social and cognitive development. Most young children are able to learn new languages with very little difficulty.

— The younger you learn a second language, the easier it is in the future to learn further languages.

— Multilingualism does not overburden a child’s learning, but opens their mind and strengthens their senses.

— Multicultural settings give children a flexible spirit and strengthens their powers of observation, and they will continue to live very naturally in multi-cultural environments.

— A child learning a second (or third, or fourth...) language does not weaken their mother tongue.

Why English ?

English is the most commonly used language in the world, and the third most common first language. Even if you do not plan for your child to continue in an English school, the benefits of learning English at a young age have life-long benefits.

LEARNING through play

Learning through play means teaching children by thinking outside of the box of traditional methods.

Traditionally teaching is done using worksheets and pencils while being stationary at a desk.

We believe children learn better when learning in more hands on, creative and fun. Letters can be written outside in the sand and snow using stick. We can learn about volcanoes by making paper maché ones and making them erupt. We can count snowflakes to learn our numbers. Most importantly we can use the children’s own interests to encourage them to engage in learning. 

— When children are actively involved in an activity they learn faster and better through personal experiences.

— When children are interested in a subject it is easier for them to learn and retain the knowledge and skills learnt. 

— Most importantly playschool children are still young and learning should be fun, and learning is always fun with us!

We use our surroundings around our playschool to widen our learning environment. We go outside twice a day to our own yard, in almost all weather, throughout the year. We also use our yard for teaching lessons outside whenever possible. We have lots of great public playgrounds within walking distance which we visit weekly, as well as Helsinki’s central forest within a short walking distance. We also take trips to visit attractions around the city, including museums, libraries, theaters and more.
