Our Curriculum

At Coral, we draw inspiration from Finland's renowned early childhood education approach. Our curriculum is designed by Hei Schools, which serves as our academic partner, and we blend it with other best practices to create a progressive and emerging curriculum. We stay updated with the latest educational research to continuously enhance our pedagogy. Recognizing the uniqueness of each child, we remain flexible in adapting our curriculum to meet their individual needs

Comprehensive growth

At Coral, we believe in holistic learning and development, nurturing every aspect of a child's growth. Our approach encompasses the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and creative domains, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.

At Coral, we are committed to empowering children to become well-rounded individuals who are socially, emotionally, and academically prepared for the future. Our holistic approach to learning and development sets the stage for their success, fostering a lifelong love for learning and nurturing their potential to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Sustainability

At Coral, we prioritize sustainable practices and environmental awareness. Through nature walks and immersive experiences, we connect children with the natural world and instill a sense of responsibility. We promote creativity by reusing art scraps, teach the value of recycling, and have a strong focus on energy conservation. At Coral, sustainability is an integral part of our curriculum, empowering children to become stewards of the environment. By integrating sustainable practices into our curriculum and daily operations, we aim to instill lifelong habits of environmental responsibility in our children.

Coral Teachers

At Coral, we value our teachers as skilled educators and provide comprehensive training and ongoing professional development.

Unlike traditional approaches, we don't burden our teachers with heavy planning requirements or strict timelines. Instead, we encourage our staff to prioritize the individual interests and energy of each child, creating meaningful learning experiences based on their unique needs. By fostering a child-centric approach, our teachers can tap into their creativity and provide engaging educational experiences.

To ensure the highest standards of teaching, we provide our staff with extensive training over a period of two months. This training equips them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to excel in their roles.

Learning happens everywhere

At Coral, we believe that learning is not confined to the classroom but happens in every moment and situation. Our dedicated teachers are trained to recognize these valuable learning opportunities and create meaningful experiences for children. Furthermore, our carefully designed learning spaces, inspired by educational research, play a crucial role in fostering these moments of growth and discovery. At Coral, we embrace a holistic approach to learning that extends beyond traditional boundaries.

Play is all they need

Play is not just a form of entertainment for children; it is their most natural and effective way of learning and growing. At Coral, we recognize the power of play in children's development and prioritize its integration into our curriculum. Through play, children showcase their holistic development and often exceed their expected abilities as they are driven by curiosity and fearlessness to explore new territories. Our dedicated teachers and thoughtfully designed curriculum create an environment that encourages and enhances these important play experiences. We value the intrinsic value of play and understand its role in fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity among children. We celebrate the joy of play and provide ample opportunities for children to engage in free play, allowing them to independently interact, explore, and develop important life skills

Social Experience

At Coral, we believe that knowledge is co-created through social interactions. Children learn best when they engage with others, forming meaningful connections and building a sense of community. We foster a supportive and inclusive environment where peer learning and developing strong relationships with both peers and trusted adults are at the heart of our approach. We prioritize the holistic development of each child, nurturing their social intelligence alongside their cognitive growth.

Power of exploration

At Coral, we embrace the power of guided exploration in children's learning journey. Through our inquiry-based approach, children and teachers engage in collaborative and meaningful projects. Our skilled teachers are trained to keenly observe children's questions, curiosities, and interests, using these as valuable clues to guide their learning experiences. We empower children to exercise their agency by actively participating in the learning process. They have the freedom to choose project themes, ask questions, and explore new subjects alongside their dedicated teachers. At Coral, we foster a dynamic and engaging environment where children's curiosity and creativity thrive, paving the way for exciting and personalized learning adventures.

Transversal Skills

At Coral, we believe that lifelong learning starts in the early years, and we prioritize the development of transversal competencies in children. Transversal competencies encompass a wide range of knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and the ability to apply them in various situations. Through our innovative and playful teaching methods, daily routines, and opportunities for self-expression, we empower children to transfer their existing knowledge into new contexts. By nurturing confident and adaptable learners, we equip children with the skills they need to thrive and make a positive impact in any setting they encounter. At Coral, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and the ability to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm.

Exploring and interacting with the world

At Coral, we prioritize the development of children's language and mathematical skills, nurturing their ability to communicate effectively and think critically. Through engaging activities and experiences, we create opportunities for children to explore and understand the world of language and numbers. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of environmental education, fostering a deep connection with nature and promoting sustainability among our young learners.

Understanding the world we live in

In our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect, we support children in understanding and appreciating the diversity within their local community. Through various educational initiatives, we promote empathy, acceptance, and a sense of belonging among children. Our goal is to empower them to become socially conscious individuals who value and respect differences, ultimately contributing to a harmonious and inclusive society.

Practising a healthy way of living

We prioritize the development of a healthy lifestyle and well-being for children. Our comprehensive approach encompasses physical activity, nutrition, rest, self-care, and caring for others. By integrating these aspects into their daily routines, we equip children with the knowledge and skills to lead a balanced and healthy life. This learning area supports and enhances their overall development, empowering them to manage their daily activities and contribute positively to their well-being and the well-being of others.

Learning forms of expression

At Coral, we recognize the power of artistic expression in children's development. We provide opportunities for children to explore different art forms and celebrate their cultural heritage. Through musical activities, visual arts, crafts, and bodily/verbal expression, we encourage creativity, imagination, and self-expression. By fostering a love for the arts, we nurture children's emotional well-being and support their holistic growth.

Rich Language environment

At Coral, we prioritize creating a rich language environment for children, recognizing the crucial role language plays in their overall development. Through intentional practices and activities, we immerse children in language-rich settings for example teachers facilitate engaging conversations, storytelling, rhyme time, and language-based games to foster vocabulary expansion, language fluency, and expressive abilities. By surrounding children with diverse linguistic experiences and providing ample opportunities for language exploration, we empower them to become confident and effective communicators.

Mixed Age Group

At our schools, children have the right to learn and develop individually and in group settings. We provide children with opportunities to learn interaction skills and social norms within a group of peers. It is crucial for children to learn how to consider others while building their foundation skills for life.

Safe havens for learning

Extensive research demonstrates that the physical environment significantly influences behavior, thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. Recognizing that children engage in multisensory learning, we go beyond functional spaces in our schools. Our creative learning spaces are purposefully designed to align with our curriculum and daily activities, fostering a safe, tranquil, and stress-free environment for children to thrive in.
