Learn through play
Play is nature’s way of helping children to understand their environment. At the playschool we begin to expand children's experiences involving people, events and objects. At the school children learn to play within different groups and will discover the rules of social interaction through the play. |
The Preschool
The preschool year, the year prior to a child beginning elementary school is very important, serving as a step stone from a playschool to “big school”. The preschoolers at English Playschool are offered close-knit environment in which they can develop socially, physically, emotionally and “academically”. |

The English Playschool was established in 1995 to provide care and education for children aged from 3 to 7 years of age. The school is structured with introductory action groups, play school and pre-school groups. The principles of the school are to ensure the children's development in not only education but also in the development of social skills and personal achievement. The school syllabus is based upon Finnish pre-school requirements and the English national curriculum. 
Teachers in the school are native english speakers and bi-lingual (English-Finnish) and are qualified to teach and guide children in their care.
