“It takes a village to raise a child.”

 

Jumping Beans on englanninkielinen päiväkoti Kangasalan Ruutanassa.

Meillä on vapaita paikkoja nyt syksyllä.  Voitte soittaa Amandalle ja kysyä lisää.

Päiväkotiimme ovat tervetulleita kaikki lapset esikouluikäisiin saakka. Henkilökuntamme jäsenet puhuvat myös suomea, joten sinun tai lapsesi ei tarvitse osata englantia meille saapuessasi. Turvallisen päiväkotiympäristön lisäksi lapsesi saa meiltä hyvän pohjan myöhempiin englanninopintoihin.

And now, let’s change to our language! Jumping Beans Kangasala offers a range of age appropriate activities that extend and stimulate children’s learning and promotes their all round development. We believe in creating partnerships with parents using their knowledge of their children to help us develop the daily programme which encompasses children’s favourite activities and interests.

In our large family atmosphere older and younger children have the opportunity to play and learn together. They learn English through play, games, indoor and outdoor activities. We understand that leaving your child in the care of others can be quite an emotional experience. We endeavour to do everything possible to make this transition easy for parents and their children. We encourage parents to visit our day care with their children as often as needed, giving every one time to get to know each other.

Jumping Beans is situated in a residential area close to the Ruutana school. We are close to the main north – south road between Tampere and Jyväskylä, providing easy access to Tampere. We have places for 20 children up to 6 years old.

Curriculum

At Jumping Beans we believe that learning should be fun, and centered around what interests the child. We aim to provide an environment, both inside and outside, that will encourage your children to explore, learn and use their imaginations for problem solving and creativity. Through continuous observations of children at play, we are able to provide activities which suit their age and stage of development, activities which will interest, motivate and educate children whilst making their learning fun!

We are constantly developing our curriculum to provide the highest standard of care and education for your child. Working alongside the New Zealand Te Whariki and the English Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) our curriculum is based on the following seven areas of learning and development (EYFS):

Personal, social and emotional development

Children are encouraged to become confident and independent learners. Our older and younger children learn from each other and develop an understanding of the concept of sharing, taking turns and looking after each other.

Communication and language

Whilst encouraging children to learn to communicate in English through play, games, stories, songs and daily interactions with staff, we also recognize the importance of a child’s own Finnish language. Finnish language staff encourage and support a child’s own language development through daily interactions.

Mathematics

Through a child’s daily exploration of their world they are introduced to the concepts of numeracy, quantity, measurements and shapes. They are provided with the necessary tools and time to explore and make sense of their environment.

Understanding of the world

Children are naturally curious about the world around them. We encourage this curiosity and explore ways in which children can question, search and process this information using available resources such as books, media and other tools.

Physical development

Children are always on the move. We look for ways in which they can develop greater co-ordination and control over their bodies. Walks through the forest and surrounding areas, trips to the play park, skiing, skating, balancing, jumping, crawling, climbing are all ways in which children develop an awareness of the space around them.

Expressive Arts and Design

In addition to music, art, drama and role-play to encourage creativity, children have access to a variety of materials such as modelling clay, play dough, natural materials, rice and pastas (to name a few). In addition to developing imagination, this also stimulates the senses and develops fine motor skills.

Literacy

Whilst encouraging children to learn to communicate in English through play, games, stories, songs and daily interactions with staff, we also recognize the importance of a child’s own Finnish language. Finnish language staff encourage and support a child’s own language development through daily interactions.
