Loppsi Finnish Kindergarten

Kindergarten in Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco

Loppsi Finnish Kindergarten is a crèche and kindergarten in Casablanca, in the Vélodrome area of Casablanca-Settat, Morocco. It welcomes children from ages 3 to 6. The school presents itself as offering a Finnish educational experience where children are encouraged to be heard, to flourish, and to become more autonomous. Its atmosphere is described as caring and engaging, with an emphasis on helping each child feel happy at school and eager to come back.

The curriculum is rooted in Finnish education and is developed in partnership with Hei-Schools, a Finnish organisation that provides Loppsi with its curriculum and training. The approach places the child at the centre of learning, with each child moving at their own pace and educators supporting learning in a relaxed context that nurtures natural curiosity. Learning happens through a wide range of playful and educational activities, including theatre, role play, outdoor classes, and books. The school also highlights play-based learning and outdoor education as central to its method, alongside a trilingual environment in Arabic, French, and English. In the classroom, teaching time is split equally between French and English, while Arabic hours increase progressively from the small section to the grande section.

Daily life at Loppsi includes two half-days of outdoor classes per week in each class. The school sees time outside the classroom as essential to children’s development, linking outdoor learning with creativity, problem solving, autonomy, confidence, social interaction, and emotional well-being. The school also offers several services, including a mandatory supplies pack and outing pack, plus optional weekday care in the late afternoon and on Wednesdays. A canteen service is listed as well. The source does not provide detailed information about buildings or facilities, but it does show a learning environment designed around exploration, rhythm, and everyday experiences.

What makes Loppsi distinctive is the way it combines Finnish early years principles with trilingual learning and regular outdoor education. The school’s emphasis on autonomy, social development, and emotional balance may appeal to families looking for a calm, child-centred start to schooling. It is especially suited to children who benefit from learning through play, discovery, and movement, and to families who value a setting where French, English, and Arabic are part of daily life.
