THE LEARNING AREAS OF OUR CURRICULUM AND ACTION PLAN
Happy Children Kindergarten follows the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Early Childhood Education and Care. Five learning areas have been taken from the curriculum and incorporated into the operational plan of Happy Children Kindergarten.
The learning areas are used when drawing your child’s individual early education and care plan (VASU) to monitor how they are developing and for our educators to set pedagogical goals to support your children individual needs.
