Our Strengths

Fusion of Finnish and Singapore Early Childhood Education

Finland is a global leader in education, consistently earning top spots in world rankings. For decades, many institutions have sought out to replicate and implement Finland’s successful teaching methods. We have combined the Finnish and Singapore’s expertise in education, as well as Rovio’s strong entertainment background to create Fun Learning. Designed to capture the curiosity, enthusiasm and openness we feel as five-year-olds, Fun Learning is a collection of innovative, inspiring tools that will transform young minds.

Powerful Learning Materials

Collaborating with world-renowned organisations such as NASA, National Geographic, CERN and University of Helsinki, Angry Birds Playground continues to innovate and create fun yet powerful learning materials and technologies that brings a whole new world of learning experience for our children. At the same time, we are excited to have Dr. Lily Wong, a very well-known veteran in the Early Childhood industry to endorse the unconventional preschool education that we are advocating.

Adopts a Value-based Education

Values cannot be taught just using stories and worksheets. Values are taught through examples and modelling. Children at Dreamkids exchange high fives with their parents and teachers instead of handshakes, and at the end of each session, they hug their teachers and parents as a way of showing their love for them and thanking them for teaching them. This modelling approach involves making kids more aware of people. In additional, we teach values through examining personal actions of self and others whereby kids’ actions are caught on camera. Teachers will then use them to encourage kids to become more reflective and analytical about what they see. This approach helps kids to become clearer about why they act and think. More importantly, it allows them to examine the questions of right and wrong.

Fun, Learning Environment

All digital material can be found in the Playground Channel. New activities are continuously added to the set. Angry Birds Toons can also be watched via the Playground Channel. There is one animation with questions designed as an orientation of each theme, but other Toons can also be watched instead. The animations can be shown on the interactive whiteboard, for example. In the Channel, there is also a digital story booklet for each theme. The small stories are written to match the theme and create discussion among the group. For the mathematics content area, there is a mobile game available, called Angry Birds Playground Sprint. The game combines physical exercise and math, and it’s played with mobile phones and QR- codes.

Additional (Life Skills) Programme

Preschoolers like to investigate. They are curious and enjoy learning about the world around them. Hence for children enrolled in our additional program, they will come together and work on a project together based on the themes. The children choose what to investigate, with some guidance from the teachers. Thereafter, with the teachers’ assistance, they collect information about the topics before creating displays to share the story of the project with others. Displays might include their drawings, notes, stories, photographs, models and writings. Parent might be invited to a presentation about their project at the end of the school term.
