Today I read about the Finnish “kuksa”, a humble yet beautiful traditional mug carved out of the burl of a birch tree. It is said that the mug, when made properly can last a lifetime. The kuksa made me think of Finnish early childhood education. With its quality, its benefits too can and should last a lifetime. This is why at SEGi we choose to incorporate within our diploma in early childhood the heart of Finnish early childhood education, where respect for nature, exploration, and play form the foundation for lifelong learning.

At SEGi we embrace the key principles of Finnish early childhood education:

  • Playful Learning: We believe in a curriculum that lets children learn through hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and connection with the natural world. Think mud pies, block creations, and storytelling under the stars.
  • Holistic Development: Structured academics are introduced gently, prioritizing social-emotional well-being, physical health, creativity, and a love for learning.  Every moment is an opportunity to grow and thrive.
  • Partnerships with Families and Communities: Involvement of stakeholders in crucial decision making is essential for developing confident, resilient individuals.

    The key to Finnish education is qualified educators who are trained in the latest research and Finnish best practices. Our graduates must be guides, mentors, and playmates who create a safe and supportive environment for young minds to blossom. Just like the kuksa, passed down through generations, we believe in building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a love for the world around us.
