ABOUT THE PRESCHOOL : An Introduction
Welcome to Um Nasser Finland Preschool, located in West Riffa, Bahrain. Established through a partnership between S Eleven Educational and EduCluster Finland in October 2024, our preschool integrates Finnish educational excellence with Bahraini cultural values.
Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, preparing them to be well-rounded global citizens. We are committed to fostering well-being, creativity, and the joy of learning, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths and interests are celebrated and developed.
School Overview & Academics
At Um Nasser Finland Preschool, we follow the Finnish Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) curriculum, renowned for its holistic and child-centered approach. Our play-based pedagogy places play at the core of learning, creating a joyful and engaging environment where children naturally explore the world.
Through structured and free play, children grow creatively and intellectually while developing essential social and emotional skills. This approach nurtures cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills in an inspiring, imaginative setting.
Our curriculum is designed to foster the whole child, going beyond academic skills to nurture mental, physical, social, and emotional development. Encouraging collaboration and group-based activities helps children develop essential socio-emotional skills while preparing them for future challenges. By embracing the individuality of each learner, we build a strong sense of self-confidence and curiosity, empowering children to explore and grow.
