Tallinna Kristiine Lasteaed
Tallinn, Estonia
Description
The main goal is to support families in preparing children for school and to teach and develop children’s physical, mental and social skills. The values of the organisation are openness, creativity, tolerance, respect, caring and courage. The kindergarten has 12 classes for 1.5-7 years old children. The main activity is to teach children creativity through play. The kindergarten is in a green district of the Estonian capital within walking distance or short public transport trip from downtown. By including an international volunteer in our kindergarten, our goal is to improve together our main values through intercultural learning and get a fresh bystander view of our organization. At the same time, the volunteer can contribute with innovative ideas to engage with children, parents, teachers and the community.
