  1. What theoretical foundations support Kide Science’s Playful Inquiry approach?

    Kide’s pedagogical model is grounded in rigorous academic research primarily from the University of Helsinki (Vartiainen, 2016; Vartiainen & Kumpulainen, 2019–2020). It blends dramatic play with scientific inquiry, an approach known as “Scientific Play”.

  2. How does Kide’s Playful Inquiry impact children’s engagement and learning?

    Teachers report that Kide’s blend of play and story-based lessons boosts engagement—kids ask more scientific questions, show greater interest in STEAM, and often start viewing themselves as “scientists”. The UK case study at Heatherton Girls’ School also showed improvement in children’s observation and classification skills, alongside emotional engagement and use of scientific vocabulary

  3. What does “Playful Inquiry” look like in practice within Kide?

    Kide lessons unfold in three phases:

    Story-driven setup that sparks curiosity (e.g., letters from story characters)

    Hands-on play and experimentation where children role-play as investigators

    Sharing and reflection, where findings are communicated, often in character, reinforcing both learning and emotional engagement
