Descrizione dell'organizzazione

Liikuri Kindergarten’s goal of pre-school education is to support the Children’s individuality, creativity and learning through playing. We have more than 260 kids attending our kindergarten every year for almost 30 years now. As the mother tongue of most of the kids is Russian, we want every kid to know national language-Estonian, so from the age of 3 children start learning Estonian through planned studying, everyday activities and games. We want our children to be healthy and we have lots of outdoor activities and also lessons in the pool where we also use another language. There are totally 52 persons in our staff.The kindergarten has a base for teaching another languages, Estonian for example. We want to get to know about the methods of teaching children, new developments, games in the field of learning languages through playing games:
1. exchange of experience and learning;
2. games and new technologies;
3. from simple to complex.
We are teaching children Estonian language as a second language through games, using digital technologies. For language teaching teachers use for example LEGO Educational blocks and gadgets (Bee-, blue-bots, Ozobots).Kindergarten has produced and published a workbook "Estonian Word Games", a manual "Traffic Games and Exercises", a computer game "Estonian for the Smallest"; games for the interactive board, using different sites (learningapps.com, padlet.com); also we have new robots, which we use for teaching and learning Estionian language (those are Qobo-robot, mTiny robot). Also for couple of years we have volunteers from other countries in our staff.
Liikuri kindergarten is located in one of the most beautiful spots of Tallinn with fresh and clean air on the uphill near the sea, great park Kadriorg and Tallinn Song Festival Ground. We try to cooperate with lots of companies, kindergartens, schools and even universities. We have been a base of practice for Tallinn University and Tallinn Pedagogical College for years.
