Discovering joy,
inspiring curiosity

Nurtured curiosity is the base for learning

We offer full-time early childhood education in seven playschools in the Helsinki area. Montessori education is based on the child’s genuine desire and ability to learn. Small groups give the child the opportunity to grow and develop at their own pace in a calm and relaxed learning environment.

Joy and creativity with 40 years of experience

Within Montessori pedagogy, encouraging the child to find their individuality while taking others into account is important. Noticing the good around us and highlighting our strengths and achievements is important to us. 

We value every child’s own pace of progress and interests and help them to act independently. We pay special attention to observing children’s activities and preparing a playful environment that supports the learning process.

An accepting and positive atmosphere gives a safe space for the child to constructively practice emotional and interactional skills.

Curiosity and understanding grows in an inspiring learning environment

The Montessori environment inspires to both learn and play. Appropriately challenging tasks and equipment help the child experience joy from their achievement and success. 

We encourage children to engage in imaginative and joyful activities where it is safe and natural for them to try out different roles, process their experiences and immerse themselves into the world of imagination.

More peace, more time

Our playschools are communities where children and educators learn together, about each other and from each other. By using each other’s strengths and sharing ideas, we develop ways to work together.

Small cozy groups give both children and adults peace and time to focus on each child’s individual development. We also strive for close cooperation with the families.
