Happy Children Kindergarten

Our Location
We are a new English daycare in Helsinki, Ruskeasuo, ideally situated in the city with the vast central park (Keskuspuisto) as our “backyard”. Supporting HCK’s concept of nurturing children to have a healthy lifestyle and to discover the wonder of Finnish nature in all seasons.

Our Facilities
We have our own fully equipped playground exclusively for our daily use as well as an indoor gym.
At HCK we are committed to cultivating a well-balanced learning environment. Inculcating in all children a passion for learning and creative thinking.
Our Kindergarten spaces are planned with comfort, interest, safety and creativity in mind. The warm and homely setting with many different playing and learning areas where children enjoy exploring. We truly believed in Learning by Playing. We observe and follow Covid safety protocols for Daycare as mandated by City of Helsinki.

Our mission is for your children to grow into happy well-balanced individuals enriched with life skills to thrive in everyday environment and surrounding. We attach great value to the enhancement of their social skills, self development and the motivation for learning in all areas.

We strive to offer high quality early education and a safe facility with tender loving care ‘TLC’ ❤.

We put great importance in providing an international and multi cultural setting by respecting traditions and accepting different values.

We are committed to guide our young ones towards acting ethically, sustainably, showing respect for others and being responsible members of the community.

Your child is unique and deserves high quality care and education. They have the right to play and have fun while caring for themselves, each other and the environment.
To achieve our goal, we implement creative, interesting, fun filled daily activities and festivals for your children to enjoy. Playing, learning and enriching their interaction skills with other children is part of everyday life in HCK in order to develop their emotional skills and thinking.

Our international setting offer opportunity to learn different cultures where your children can participate in special events and celebrations throughout the year.

English is the medium of instruction in HCK. However, if your children is not a speaker of English language yet, we use ‘soft landing’ approach where both English and Finnish language will be used to ensure your children settle in comfortably.

We organise regular trip to parks, nature walks and places of interest. Together we look at how we can recycle and help take care of our own environment.
Your child safety and wellbeing is our top priority. We ensure effective communication with parents. Parents are updated with their child’s daytime activities (ie. nap time, eating, playing). In addition, photos of special moments are sent to parents. We regularly post author

We are a small private daycare. HCK dedicated educators ensure that your child’s individual needs are met and early learning goals determined as early as possible. English is the language of communication in our kindergarten. Attending the kindergarten does not require your child to have any prior knowledge of English language.
Our enthusiastic and qualified educators are native English speakers or fluent in the language. We also have bilingual educators who speak Finnish and English to assist children when needed.
Through the process of familiarisation, we seek to ensure that each child feels that they are in safe, familiar surroundings and amongst people who genuinely care.

The center opened in 2021.
