Caring and nurturing staff
Every child has a right to a Happy Childhood
Bilingual – English daycare with Finnish language enrichment
About us
We are a small private daycare located in central Helsinki, surrounded by the beautiful Keskuspuisto (Central Park), where children can enjoy Finnish nature and forest adventures throughout all seasons.
Our warm and international environment provides children with a creative, supportive, and diverse learning experience. We follow the Finnish Early Childhood Education curriculum, which strongly emphasises learning through play, exploration, and everyday experiences.
We are a bilingual kindergarten offering both English and Finnish language education. English is our primary language (75%), while Finnish language enrichment (25%) is naturally included in selected daily activities such as circle time, singing, storytelling, and reading.
Children have the opportunity to learn both languages side by side at their own pace. No prior knowledge of English or Finnish is needed to join our daycare. We believe children learn best when they feel happy, engaged, and encouraged.
Our caring educators ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and supported in a familiar and nurturing environment.
We also place great importance on friendship, kindness, and treating others with respect, helping children build strong social and emotional skills for life.
