ABOUT LITTLE FINNS

Little Finns is a community where parents come together to socialize and to organize activities around Finnish culture and language for their children. Parents and grandparents are REQUIRED to participate in the planning and workshops.

  • Children are welcome regardless of Finnish skill level.
  • During the sessions, the children will listen, speak, read and write Finnish using fun, age and skill level-appropriate activities, games and play. We will also get to know Finnish culture and traditions through hands-on experiences.
  • We provide activities to continue learning at home.
  • We maintain a library of Finnish children’s books that students can borrow to read at home. Donations of gently used books are welcome!
  • There is no fee, but a Calgary Finlandia Cultural Association membership is required. Visit our MEMBERSHIP page for more information.

Sessions run on Sunday afternoons at the Scandinavian Centre unless otherwise specified.
