ESC : Tallinn Kullerkupu Kindergarden
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Kindergarten Kullerkupu was established in 1963. At present, there are four groups – each group of 20-24 children, altogether around 90 children aged 1,5 to 7 years old.
One of the priorities is innovation, to be modern. Kindergarten has joined the projects ” Free of Bullying“ and Eco school. The importance of environmental protection is attached to everyday life. In addition to the daily learning activities taking place in kindergarten, there are also music and sports. Kindergarten has a nice outdoor area and several events are held outdoors.
The main purpose of the organization is a high-quality basic education for children. The mission is to welcome every child in their friendly family and to provide pleasant conditions for a child to contribute to the development of their personality. It is important to know that every child would feel welcome, safe and positive among the kindergarten family throughout the day and would be happy taking part in everyday learning activities. The cooperation with the parents is very important hence many events involve families as well.
There are 20 people working in the kindergarten and 10 have a BS degree of education. All of our teachers have pedagogical education, in addition to the long experience of working in kindergarten. The teachers are open-minded and want to extend their knowledge by getting to know people from different cultures and nations.
