Art Kindergarten Konsti is privately owned preschool that encourages children to learn through physical movement, dance, music and visual arts. We co-operate local music, dance and visual art institutes. Konsti was founded in 1995. The children are divided into six group (1-6 years).
Art Kindergarten Konsti early childhood education plan and its content areas are based on the National and the City of Kerava´s early childhood and preschool curriculums. Konsti specialises and focuses on the use of arts education to support learning and growth. Our goal-orientated art education plan is developed with the art school teachers and then implemented by our highly skilled staff.
Konsti use Orff-pedagogical approach in music education. It is interactive. Children explore the elements of rhythm, voice, movement, instruments, improvisation, listening and playing. The starting point for music education is an experimental experience. Through this play it raises the child´s interest toward music while supporting creativity within the group environment.
Our objectives are:

• experimental
• experiencing the joy of making music
• encourage singing and playing
• combining music and movement
• the ability to listen through every sense
• working together

We have two Orff-pedagogies end three kindergarden teachers who has been in Orff level courses in Finland in our staff. We also have Orff-instruments and other percussions for the children.
