THE KINDERGARTEN
Over the past 30 years, the English Kindergarten of Kotka has grown
tremendously and now offers a full-time program, a half-day program, and a preschool program.
The school consists of 5 spacious rooms, an art room plus a kitchen.
We offer a play-centered program focusing on language development, and social and emotional skills.
A thematic approach is used to guide the learning. Throughout the calendar year, American and Finnish
traditions are celebrated. The majority of children at the English Kindergarten of Kotka speak Finnish
as their first language but we also have some children who come from international backgrounds.
CALENDARS
Our kindergarten has beautiful calendars for the year 2012 for sale.
The price is 5€, and the money will be used for field trips for the
children of the kindergarten.

two Finnish Kindergarten teachers Annina Pasila and Ms. Tiia Hernejärvi; one native English speaking teacher,
