Resumo: The goal of the kindergarten is to support the children’s individuality, creativity and learning through playing. It has more than 260 kids attending every year for 30 years now. The kindergarten has 3 day-care groups for kids from 1.5-3 years old and 9 kindergarten groups for kids from 3-7.
As the mother tongue of most of the kids is Russian, the children from the age of 3 start to learn national language – Estonian – through planned studying, everyday activities and games. The kindergarten also promotes healthiness by organizing outdoor activities and lessons in the pool. The organisation is different from the other kindergartens because it participates in lots of conferences, projects (also international) and competitions. The kindergarten also offers many theatrical activities that help develop children minds. This kindergarten’s teachers’ materials are often used by other institutions in Estonia.
The kindergarten has a digital classroom with a touchscreen whiteboard, interactive tables and tablets. Since 2018 the kindergarten hosts an innovation lab set up in the educational institutions as part of the #EduInnoLab project. This lab also holds training courses on robotics and animation. In the academic year 2017/18 Kindergarten organized training courses for 343 school and kindergarten teachers. In the year 2018/19 it provided training for over than 900 teachers.
The kindergarten participates in the project RED BALL (Reflecting, Empowering, Developing, Becoming Active Lifelong Learner). It is a project based on the theory of School Improvement where the progress and development of school itself, and education in general, starts from bottom-up. The goal is to empower teachers and pupils as lifelong learners using multiple ways and tools: self-reflection, inclusive practices, collaborative learning, non-formal and informal education approaches and the study of culture-tradition.
The staff is from the age of 20 to 60. Eighteen teachers have the experience in different international projects and fourteen of them have the working experience as a volunteer.
The kindergarten cooperates with companies, kindergartens, schools and even universities. It has been a place for interns from Tallinn University and Tallinn Pedagogical College for years
