The prestigious Saint Maria Parent-Child kindergarten chain starts using Moomin Language School, the professional early language learning software produced by Playvation Ltd., with hundreds of children in Nanjing, China. The agreement was born through a co-operation with the Finnish Touhula kindergarten chain.
Saint Maria kindergarten, founded in 2013, aims to educate children with patient love and in a safe love-nurturing way for the future. Saint Maria combines Chinese traditional values and international early education philosophy into a functional combination where the safe and holistic development of the child is a priority. ”We lead the children to grow into global citizens, responsible for human happiness, respectful and appreciative of the diversity of human culture," states the Chief Education Officer Dr. Tamara N. Van from Saint Maria.
The cooperation between Saint Maria and Playvation is an important step for both organizations; the need for language skills is constantly increasing and the positive effect of early language learning for child development is more and more recognized worldwide. Moomin Language School offers an effective, safe and unique research-based technological solution for teaching children languages. The service allows independent learning on a daily basis, a native speaker model for pronunciation, and tools for developing language skills in social interaction with other children. The service is based on a storyline and Finnish education philosophy, and it supports the development of future skills.
The collaboration was initiated with close cooperation with Touhula, the Finnish kindergarten chain. The Moomin Language School language learning software is a great complement to the early childhood education expertise offered by Touhula. The cooperation in Finnish education export between the two companies will be deepened in the future.
