What a wonderful year at Nordic Open Preschool! Our little ones explored Nordic languages and traditions through songs, stories, crafts, play, and plenty of fika. It has been a joy to learn and grow together. Thank you to all the families who joined us this year! We wish you a great summer and look forward to welcoming you back in the fall! 💛💙❤️

Our Finnish program wrapped up another wonderful school year with a delicious potluck feast, mingle and play. Thanks you, teachers Aliisa & Anna as well as all the students & their families!

This year, students 5+ years learned numbers & vocabulary by measuring and weighing things they found in the classroom. They played with balloons to celebrate Vappu and got to suggest themes to explore on Saturday mornings (reindeers & games to name a few). For the babies & toddlers, there was plenty of singing songs & experiencing traditions through play and activities. Being present to support learning for these curious students 0-12 years is fun!

Fall sign ups are open for new and returning families - so act now before the spots fill up.
