What Makes Our Kindergarten Special? Tartu Lotte Kindergarten is a child-friendly, caring, playful, and modern values-based kindergarten where children’s development is supported through play-based learning that takes into account each child’s interests and needs, a safe and bullying-free environment, healthy choices, nature education, and cooperation with families.
