Learning by Playing in Finnish Early Childhood Education and Care - Krista Kiuru - WISE 2014 [Focus]

Promoting children's overall well-being is the overarching goal of education. In Finland, an integrated ECEC system is implemented and care and education are combined in a holistic matter (the "educare" principle). Expectations are set for the staff and the learning environment rather than the children’s educational outcomes. Playing, physical exercise, exploration and self-expression through different forms of art are considered to be ways of acting and thinking that are stimulating and beneficial to children.
