“Iglookids encourages children to be involved in dialogue and learn by playing through art, music, language, mathematics and sport related activities”

Our

Curriculum

Iglookids designs the curriculum in each country so that it includes best practices from Finnish early education, international nursery curricula and the local requirements. Therefore, attending Iglookids nursery will enable the child to move on to any international kindergarten or school after the nursery years. IglooKids curriculum is based on Finnish best practices and international curriculum and it is always tailored to the local requirements. The dedicated Finland-based early education expert team consult local experts when tailoring our curriculum for each country.

iglookids difference

We promote a play-based curriculum – when the play is both fun and educational, the children are happy and learn effortlessly. In the play-based curriculum teachers are free to build learning themes around the child’s own interests, which further accelerates the learning process.
The Finnish education approach has also been included by e.g. Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) in the new Abu Dhabi School Model. Attending a nursery with compatible values and approach supports the transition from nursery to Cycle 1 school.

According to the Finnish best practice, we make every effort to arrange transfer meetings with the new teachers when children move on from nursery to Cycle 1 school. The meetings enable the new teachers to learn the individual traits and strengths of the children and build on them in the next stage of education. Also other multi-professional collaboration is encouraged, for example between teachers, speech therapists, nurses and social workers. The collaboration is based on the Finnish education principle that it is easier to prevent issues in child development than correct issues after they occur.
