WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?
S – SENSORY SMART
H – A WARM HEART, EMPATHY
A – ART, CREATIVITY
R – SCHOOL READINESS
P – PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
At Sharp Kids we are passionate about providing our children with a solid foundation.
We encourage our children to use their five senses and develop their curiosity by exploring different materials in different ways.
By incorporating their own bodies in this process, they learn in an unique and experiential way.
Sharp Kids honours the Finnish Education principles (ranked best in the world.)
This model combines emotional intelligence with academic competence without putting pressure on children to compete and outdo each other.
Sensory integration
HART= Empathy & Belonging
We take an inclusive approach that promotes cooperation amongst all children. The teachers carefully design activities that develop team work and social skills where children are encouraged to help each other. Tolerance and understanding of others are an important part of our learning process. Children are taught to share and play together.
The Arts
“The arts” is the collective term used for music, dance, visual arts, and drama. It plays a very important role in communication and the expression of ideas. Each of these disciplines involves the use of symbols (expression, movement, gesture, image, and sound) to convey meaning. The use of the arts strenghens all skills necessary for children to become school ready.

Readiness
Learning readiness is a process that starts very early in life. A child`s language and listening ability plays a very important role in becoming school ready.
We take time to understand what young children express through gesture or words and use fantasy play, songs and nursery rhymes to help children build on their vocabulary and pronunciation.
When teachers take this time, children learn that their ideas and thoughts are important and of interest to others.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
Our environment, highly qualified staff and lovely facilities allows us to provide a child-centred haven that inspires creativity, discovery, exploration and problem solving through play-based activities.
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
Parents are the most important people in a child’s life. We strive to honor this relationship and make it even stronger by encouraging parents to be part of the school journey.
"from success you
get lots of things,
but not that great inside thing
that love brings you"

Physical development
and movement
The natural process of early childhood learning and development begins with the body and follows a natural order. Without physical development a child cannot become independent. Movement primes the brain for learning, fostering the neural pathways that form the foundations for cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual learning.
