Every day at Genesis Kipinä Kindergarten is an opportunity for children to discover a new corner of the surrounding world. The environment in which they carry out their activities is stimulating, and the methods applied by us support them and encourage their natural curiosity.
Using guided play learning and instructional methods inspired by those used in the Finnish education system, Genesis Kipinä Kindergarten improves the methodology by adding the element of focused learning. The focus is on activities that support daily learning processes and help children acquire information at a faster pace through the things they experience.
The educational processes that the little ones go through are supported by the spaces where they spend their time. At Genesis Kipinä Kindergarten we always take into account the needs of children and make sure that the environment in which they spend their time is one that supports their creativity and curiosity.
The educational program at Genesis College provides a safe environment where children are encouraged to explore and acquire positive social habits, and begin to develop their autonomy.
We offer children plenty of opportunities to practice personal and social autonomy behaviors, such as getting dressed, putting on shoes, eating without help, picking up toys, etc. but also understanding the world around them.
We guide children to analyze and understand the consequences of their actions and words, to take initiative in educational activities, to respect and internalize social rules.
All kindergarten spaces (indoor/outdoor) are arranged with great attention to detail for educational purposes, to attract children to explore materials at their own pace, and train both large and small muscles. We help children verbally express their feelings and put into practice the decisions they must make to cope with conflicts and communicate their needs to others.
Our schedule is flexible but coherent, giving children the routine and predictability they need to adapt more easily to the kindergarten environment and everyday life.
At Genesis, children learn through play. Our educators collaborate with specialists in various fields, with whom we build sound partnerships. Through various activities, we offer children countless opportunities for personal experiences in different contexts.
Along with educators, we also have specialized teachers who teach in a team-teaching system, in groups, to create a learning environment that is stimulating, dynamic and with very good results:
Teachers of English, music, art, sports, dance, aikido, and a personal development program coordinated by the kindergarten psychologist.
The educational program enriched with alternative activities, coordinated by specialized teachers, is adapted for each age level:
The program at Genesis offers a wide variety of experiences that help children build self-service skills, encouraging the development of social-emotional skills, personal and intellectual development through the study of foreign languages, science, mathematics and arts, and stimulating their curious nature.
Our program is designed to create special playtime both indoors and outdoors, where children are encouraged to use their imagination, solve problems, and develop the social skills they need to succeed in life.
