Information

Established in 1995, the Club des Cinq, French-language nursery is located in Helsinki, in a great location near a playground.

We spend every day in a multicultural environment. We help children to broaden their world view and to enrich from the differences. We follow an educational program based on four pillars: by play, by sport, by discovering and art.

The nursery accepts children from 1½ to 6 years. The premises are on street level, spacious and comfortable. The group of children under 3 years has two rooms: one devoted to the game and the other to rest and sleep. The other two parts are used by the 3-5 age group for learning and meals. We also have a reading room.

All children are happy with us!

We recently asked parents to fill out a satisfaction questionnaire. We are delighted that the children of the Club des 5 have the best teachers (83% of parents gave their child’s teacher maximum scores).

According to parents, these are our strengths:

  • Small kindergarden, every kid knows eat other, kids get enough attention from teachers
  • Small size, nice stuff, language, nice kids
  • Small groups, different activities, flexibility
  • Attentive teachers, small size
  • Kind personnel, small groups
  • Small size, flexible, caring staff, bilingual daycare in French, great location and park nearby, diverse activities organized to develop motricity and general skills, option to join classes such as yoga, music etc…

Come and see how much fun children have at our school!

 

For schoolchildren, the Club des Cinq can offer child care during school holidays of their establishment. Parents have the opportunity to enroll their child in full-time (Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm) or part time (3 days per week from 8am to 5pm or 5 days a week from 8am to 3pm).

From 3 years old, the children gradually familiarise themselves with the French by total immersion in the language. Teachers communicate with the children in French only. The curriculum as well as the games and activities are organised in French.

The language immersion method of teaching was created in the 1960s in Canada by English-speaking parents who lived in bilingual areas. In this approach, learners are in total immersion in the foreign language with a native teacher. The goal is to speak the second language as naturally as the mother tongue.

The daycare is open 5 days per week, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
The holidays are the same as in the Official Finnish Schooling System.

  • To support children in the development of their own potential and in the process of socialisation;
  • To encourage the learning of the French language and to sensitise children to the French culture without forgetting the multicultural context of our kindergarten;
  • To work out the French language speaking performance of children to a level close to that of native speakers.
