Hi,

I’m Stella Giota, Education Specialist at Kindiedays, and I’ll be leading the next Kindiedays Academy cohort starting Saturday, January 10th.

I’m sending this to you because many private preschools I speak with—owners, principals, and academic coordinators—want the same outcomes:

• Parents who are impressed and confident (not constantly questioning “what is my child learning?”)
• Teachers who stay longer because they feel skilled, supported, and proud of their work
• A classroom culture that looks and feels modern, child-centered, and joyful—without losing structure, routines, or school readiness

But there’s a common gap: teachers often receive activity ideas, yet they haven’t been trained to consistently and high-quality implement playful, experiential learning. 

That is precisely what Kindiedays Academy solves.

What Kindiedays Academy is (and why it works)

Kindiedays Academy is a 10-workshop professional development program that builds teaching skills step by step—from learning environment and language development to STEM, art, community learning, parent partnerships, and documentation.

Every workshop includes:

• Live teaching (never pre-recorded)
• Real examples from Finnish classrooms
• Hands-on participation (you will practice, not just listen)
• Open discussion + Q&A and problem-solving
• Practical implementation tasks to try with children

Importantly, after every workshop, teachers receive an assignment to implement with children and receive feedback—so the training becomes a real classroom change, not “one more webinar.”

If someone misses a session, they can also attend the same workshop in the next cohort at no extra cost.

At the end of the program, each participant receives a Kindiedays Academy Diploma in Finnish Early Childhood Pedagogy, recognizing both learning and practical application.

What’s in the 10 workshops

Here’s the journey your teachers (and academic team) will go through:

Summary text above this line. Drag to move.

1. The Strength of Finnish Early Education — principles, the EduCare model, daily schedules, child-centered teaching, playful learning foundations, and partnership with parents.
2. Learning Environment Setup — learning corners, intentional materials, and turning the classroom into the “third teacher”.
3. Linguistic Development through Play — vocabulary, communication, and playful language strategies.
4. Phonics — the alphabetic code, core phonics skills, blending/segmenting, and hands-on techniques.
5. Diverse Expression Skills (Art) — moving beyond copy-paste crafts into meaningful, open-ended expression.
6. Community Studies through Play — culture, diversity, ethics, worldview, emotional awareness, and hands-on community learning
7. Parents as Partners — building trust, communication, and bringing families into the learning journey.
8. STEM through Play — inquiry-based learning, playful experiments, simple engineering, and math in daily routines.
9. Growth & Movement through Play — physical development, indoor/outdoor activity, food education, safety routines.
10. Planning, Documentation & Assessment — holistic lesson planning, documentation methods, assessment tools, and using digital tools to track learning.

Together, these workshops create a consistent teaching approach across the entire preschool (rather than relying on a single enthusiastic teacher to try something new on their own).

Benefits for both educators and owners

For teachers and academic coordinators, Academy helps you:

• Build practical skills in playful, child-centered learning
• Integrate modern curriculum into daily routines (without confusion)
• Feel motivated and confident as professionals

For owners, the impact shows up in business outcomes too:

• Stronger educational quality (that parents can see and feel)
• A healthier team culture and improved teacher retention
• Higher parent satisfaction and trust

What participants say

One Academic Coordinator from Mumbai shared after sessions with us:
Kindiedays’ training “left a lasting impression… inspiring us to embrace the possibilities of Finnish pedagogy.”

A Curriculum Developer from Delhi noted that teachers gained “practical tools and fresh perspectives” to integrate Finnish pedagogy into daily learning experiences.
