Help me Do it Myself
With Montessori, it is easy to create an individual learning plan for each child. – We have the best tools!
Montessori means respecting the child and her own individuality, guiding her to learning activities that meet her own interests. That makes it fun!
Concentration is key to all learning and through the activities, that have been carefully and scientifically planned to meet development needs, kids learn to concentrate, feel satisfaction and success, and naturally become self-guided learners. They find joy in learning and that is what it is all about!
We cherish these values!
ENGLISH
Between 0-6 years of age, children are in their natural Sensitive Period for Language Learning, according to Montessori theory. Creating a second-language environment supports kids to learn another language at the time in life when it is easiest for them.
At Playschool, friendly and supportive English-in-the-air, helps kids become comfortable and brave, trying it out at their own comfort level, through daily routines, songs and Montessori learning activities. It’s not only about language, it’s also about doing fun new things, thinking in different ways, and learning to enjoy other cultures and people too!
MONTESSORI
In Montessori education, the experience of childhood is respected and greatly valued! It is a well established, proven method with a solid scientific base. It has deep roots and its theories have become part of the newest curriculums, in Finland and around the world.
It inspires kids and touches their hearts on their path to discovery!
Playschool offers a well-balanced environment where kids receive excellent tools and practical skills for their lives in this fast changing and diverse world. At the same time, they develop a joy for learning as they grow into independent, exploring and engaged members of society.
Home-Like
The Playschool house was designed and built to create a home-like place that is comfortable for children. The house and yard warmly welcome them and an unhurried peaceful atmosphere is what we aim to create.
There is a fireplace to warm up to at parties, and the smell of fresh bread fills the air from our open kitchen – the heart of the home!
FUN
Our aim is to prepare an enriching learning environment for the children so they will experience learning in enjoyable and fun ways, thereby putting them on a good path to be self-motivated and feel the inner rewards of learning.
