For quality education, teaching activities must be goal-oriented and systematic.

Kindiedays incorporates the educational methods of the Finnish curriculum into vibrant, interactive Lesson Plans, integrating practical, hands-on classroom experiences.

The Lessons are also connected to 5 learning areas and their objectives derived from the Finnish National Curriculum. However, the learning areas and objectives are often similar to other international curricula and can easily be used in any Early Learning Center.

Kindiedays Theme-based lesson plans

Theme-based lessons make learning engaging and meaningful for children. By exploring a central theme, children can see how different subjects are connected, participate in hands-on activities, and develop their language, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Themes provide context for learning, allowing children to relate new information to their own experiences. This fosters motivation, active participation, and a deeper understanding of the subject matter, laying a strong foundation for future learning.

Kindiedays Lesson Plans are categorized into 8 captivating themes, including All about me, Season and Weather, Animals, Community Helpers, Sea, Environment, Around the World, and Transportation.

Today we dig into the theme "All about me".

All about me

Why is the theme about children themselves important? Why is it important for children to learn what makes them (and their peers) special and unique?

But what does playful learning actually mean?

• Is it simply giving children more time to play?
• Does it mean abandoning academic learning?
• How can children develop literacy, numeracy, and other essential skills through play?
• And how do teachers ensure that every child is progressing?

Playful learning is much more than a trend or a marketing phrase. When implemented well, it is a carefully planned educational approach that combines children's natural curiosity with clear learning objectives, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need for lifelong success.

Let's explore what playful learning really means—and why it is changing the future of preschool education.
