Synchronization: How Finnish ECE and Coral have the same pedagogical approach
In Finnish early childhood education, we believe that children grow, develop and learn through interaction with the people and environment around them. The concept of learning is based on the idea that one is an active and competent learner. Coral is built on the same following principles as the Finnish Model of Education:
1.Holistic development
According to the Finnish ECE system, Learning is not confined to the child teacher-guided activities alone; it is a holistic process that happens everywhere and at all times. From playtime to mealtime, and even in moments of relaxation, children are constantly absorbing valuable skills and knowledge. Therefore, Coral covers all aspects of a child’s growth, not just their academic advancements, with a focus on children's wellbeing.
2.Play-based pedagogy
Children learn and grow through play-based learning, where they engage in fun and interactive activities. Play allows them to use their imagination and creativity while exploring the world around them. It helps them develop problem-solving skills, enhance cognitive abilities, and build a strong foundation for future academic success. Additionally, play-based learning encourages collaboration, social skills, and empathy as children interact with their peers. It fosters independence, self-confidence, and a love for learning. Overall, play-based learning creates a joyful and nurturing environment that supports children's holistic development.
3.Transversal Skills
At Coral, we embrace the Finnish approach to early childhood education, which prioritizes the development of transversal skills over solely focusing on academic outcomes. Our goal is to cultivate a well-rounded foundation in our children, encompassing a diverse range of knowledge, skills, work habits, and character traits. By encouraging connections across various subject areas, we empower our little learners to explore and engage with their education holistically. Alongside academic growth, our curriculum nurtures important soft skills like communication, collaboration, and multi-literacy. These essential competencies not only shape their academic success but also foster a strong sense of identity, active participation, and self-determination. At Coral, we believe in providing an educational journey that equips children with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world
4. Inclusion & Equality
Finnish early childhood education is also built on the principle of inclusion. It emphasizes early intervention and providing support for each child regardless of their needs. At Coral, we observe and assess any developmental hindrance and get back to you with the right approach to it. We appreciate full transparency between parents and our teachers regarding the special needs of their children. We are currently short on our staff for special needs but we are determined to establish it very soon. Meanwhile, you can discuss the development of your child with us at any point.
