Children at play are children at work

The purpose of Happy Kids is to give children aged one to six years an opportunity to explore both Swedish and English in their everyday life. Each group has both Swedish speaking and English speaking teachers, so the children in a natural way are exposed to equal amounts of both languages. The children learn the languages through play, songs, stories and rhymes. In our experience children quickly learn to understand both languages, even though they often choose to speak only one of them.

The pedagogical activities at Happy Kids follow the Swedish national curriculum for preschool education (Lpfö 98).

 
 

We integrate and interact with "the grown-up world" through cooking, baking, gardening, environmental awareness, knowledge about the body and practical skills in crafts, mechanics and music. We are keen to involve older people who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. An important part of this is to give the children an opportunity to make educational visits to find out for instance who repairs your shoes, who examines your teeth and who works at the opera.
