Our approach
In our kindergartens, we strive to build an environment that is very close to home. Therefore, we treat each child as a unique individual. We listen to them, and respect the rules they are used to from their family. We want them to feel safe and comfortable in every situation. This makes it easier for the child to learn the daily routine of the kindergarten and fit into the community.
Children are naturally curious and are eager to learn. It is important for their development that they explore the world with enthusiasm and enjoyment. We strive to be observers first and offer children the widest possible range of activities that suit their interests. We pay special attention to building a positive relationship with nature and understanding its principles.
Educational programme EduArt
Our programme is built around caring for each child and their family individually. We help the children get better at what they are good at by focusing on their strengths. We utilize drama education, Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and the Hejny method of mathematics.
The programme is in line with the Framework Curriculum for Preschools and is deeply inspired by the ideas of Montessori pedagogy. Rhythm and order, environmental education, and a healthy lifestyle are all important parts of it.

Going home
In a healthy daily routine, children find structure, security, and peace. At the same time, we keep the daily schedule flexible enough to meet each children individual needs.
The daily regime revolves around so-called rituals, including morning circles, regular outdoor activities, fairytale storytelling, or bedtime lullabies. Once a week, we go on a morning excursion and adapt the programme accordingly.
Healthy and delicious meals
We provide children with food that is not only healthy, but also tasty, colourful, and playful. We know that no one—and children especially—wants to eat boring food.
Our cooking focuses on freshness, variety, and nutrition. We avoid artificial flavourings and excessive salt and sugar.
- We offer meals for children with special dietary requirements,
- provide gluten-free and lactose-free options on request,
- and serve unsweetened fruit teas or water with fresh fruit or mint throughout the day.
