Teaching concept
MEIE Digital kindergarten elementary curriculum is designed to help children to adapt to the challenges of the modern digital society.
Digital technologies and digital competence is not the same as video games or robotics
Digital technologies have come to be indispensable. Year after year they rapidly change not only the lives of adults but also the lives of children. With such a pace, the importance of digital competencies for pre-schoolers cannot be overestimated.
What do we know about digital competencies of pre-schoolers? How do we measure, changes, and develop such skills? How can we help our children to face the world of digits and codes?
Answering to such questions is the new education programme by the Ministry of Education (Koolieelse lasteasutuse seadus. Koolieelse lasteasutuse riiklik õppekava. Haridusvaldkonna arengukava 2021-2035).
Keeping pace with the digital world, MEIE Kindergarten is creating the future by teaching children to understand, embrace, and apply digital competencies in the day-to-day lives.
