The Finnish Education Model: A Quick Recap
Finland’s world-renowned education success comes from three key principles:
- Playful Learning: Children learn through play, exploration, and creativity.
- Child-Centered Approach: Focusing on individual needs and empowering children to actively participate in their learning.
- Parent Partnership: Strengthening the relationship between educators and parents to support each child’s growth.
By adopting these elements in your preschool, you can create an environment where children thrive, parents feel connected, and your preschool community flourishes.
