Creative Little Explorers
Welcome to the modern era of child learning and development.
BRINGING THE WORLD’S RENOWNED FINNISH EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TO WINDHOEK
At Creative Little Explorers we nurture young minds and promote a love for learning, through play.​ Our philosophy embraces the Finnish approach to early childhood education, rooted in fostering emotional intelligence in children. We believe that if we support children emotional wellbeing learning becomes effortless and infinite. Our program is anchored on the belief that play is the most powerful tool for learning. Through exploration, discovery, and interaction, children naturally develop their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. We therefore create a warm and stimulating environment where children can:
Engage in open-ended, child-led play: We provide ample opportunities for imaginative play, both indoors and outdoors.
Learn through inquiry and problem-solving: We encourage curiosity and critical thinking by posing open-ended questions and supporting children in finding their own solutions.
Build strong social relationships: We foster a sense of community and belonging, where children learn to cooperate, collaborate, and empathize with each other.
Develop independence and self-confidence: We trust children to make their own choices and take responsibility for their actions, nurturing a sense of agency and self-worth.
The first 5 years of a child will leave a lasting impression on their lives. The majority of a child's brain develops in these early years – defining and shaping a child’s personality, health, cognitive growth and learning capabilities.
Studies show that children develop all sorts of skills through play, such as cognitive, social, emotional, physical and critical thinking abilities. Children therefore do not learn to play, they play to learn.​
