FINLAND-BASED EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CONSULTANCY
Early childhood expertise.
Development shaped around you.
ARCTICA is a Finland-based consultancy specialising in early childhood education. We work with institutions to develop their pedagogical frameworks, learning environments and shared team practices.
Through our School Architect approach, we get to know each institution’s culture and strengths and design development pathways together. Our team brings experience from different countries and draws inspiration from Finland’s approach to education, IB and Reggio Emilia. In our work with institutions, we use ARCTICA Lens to explore children’s experiences and the conditions that shape them. Through the Teacher Academy, we support educators in learning together and developing their pedagogical practice; through the Family Academy, we strengthen families’ participation in their children’s learning and development and their collaboration with the institution.
We offer consultancy and mentoring to teachers and specialists in their professional work and to students on their academic and professional journeys.
We plan each engagement around the circumstances and goals of the institution, individual or group.
We draw strength from our cultures, grow with confidence, and connect with the world.

StudentsDISCOVER FINLAND WEEK
Education, nature and culture come together in Finland
Finland Week offers students opportunities for discovery and learning, and education professionals and institutional teams opportunities for professional development and new pedagogical perspectives. Families share experiences with their children and take part in expert-led workshops exploring children’s learning and development.
We shape the programme around participants’ goals and expectations, combining workshops and observations in educational settings with experiences of Finland’s unique natural landscapes, culture and everyday life. We value bringing what participants gain into their studies, family life and educational practice.
