Swedish language-rich early childhood education
Swedish-language-rich early childhood education is a gateway to functional language skills.
What is linguistic diversity?
The aim of language-rich early childhood education is to stimulate children’s interest in languages and foster a positive attitude towards them. In language-rich early childhood education, less than 25 per cent of activities are organised regularly and systematically in a language other than those specified in the Early Childhood Education Act. The aim is, among other things, to support language lea ing and children’s linguistic motivation and to diversify language choices. (Early childhood education plan guidelines 2018)
The language-rich group is characterised by lea ing songs, games, rhymes and everyday phrases in the other national language. One of the goals of the group is to foster curiosity and an open-minded attitude towards different languages. The hope is that children will develop the courage to express themselves, including in a foreign language. Children are introduced to and lea their second national language unconsciously, as part of their everyday lives. We encourage children to use Swedish, without forgetting the importance of their own mother tongue. In order to lea a foreign language, children should have as good a command of their mother tongue as possible, as it forms the basis for lea ing a foreign language. The aim is to build a Swedish-language school path for the child.
What and to whom?
In Tuusula, language-rich early childhood education is provided at the Tuusulanjärvi daycare centre for children whose home language is Finnish. After this, the children go on to Swedish-language pre-school and primary education at Tusby träsk svenska skolani.
