THIS IS CREATION
Creation is a provider of educational material customized for Early Childhood Education, who seamlessly integrates Christian values, social competence and emotional skills into tailored teaching approaches.
Our dream is that every child should experience how deeply loved and valuable they are. We believe that every child is uniquely created for a purpose, and we want to give children a strong foundation in life by equipping them with values, social competence, and emotional skills that last a lifetime.We believe that certain values and attitudes help shape wise choices, and we are thankful for the opportunity to communicate a Christian approach to life in a way that is both meaningful and pedagogically well grounded.
Creation was established in Norway in 2018 with the goal of developing a professional and holistic program for communicating values and Bible stories. The work was shaped by a desire to strengthen Christian values in children while drawing on the Nordic view of the child and an appreciative educational approach. After four years of development and quality assurance in Norway, a strategic decision was made in 2022 to bring the program to an international context. Today, Creation is used by more than 50,000 children in Norway, Finland, South Africa, Peru, Kenya, Uganda, Congo, and the Philippines.

Heart Culture
– The Core of Our Pedagogy
We work with the most valuable thing there is, children. Every child we meet gives us an opportunity to communicate with smiles, hugs and kind words like “you are valuable” and “we like you a lot”.
Heart culture is about creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere where we care for one another. No work has more meaning. Good and healthy relations promote children’s wellbeing, learning, and development. The Bible tells us that we are all uniquely created and valuable – loved and desired by our Creator. These are values that guide us every day with all that we do. All our interactions comes from the perspective of “I have a heart for you.”

Our Pedagogy
– Interactive and Joyful Learning
Our primary focus is to provide every child with a strong foundation in a safe enviroment. We know that children are curious and quick learners, so we emphasize interaction and joyful learning. Through our programs ’The Creation Program’ and ’The Heart Culture Program,’we aim to help children realize their own value, develop relationships, and understand their place in the wider community and world. We believe that children learn best together, through
play and when they’re having fun. Within this nurturing environment, children continue to cultivate their self-esteem, receive the necessary care and empathy, and feel a sense of belonging.
Three Core Values
– Self-Worth, Friendship and Compassion
Self-Worth
Self-worth is about our inner value, how we learn to know ourselves, our feelings, and a feeling of self-acceptance. One of the subjects is how God created each person and how unique the individual child is. We ponder creation, where we come from, and who God is. We immerse
ourselves in various aspects of creation and design multiple expressions. Among other things, we get to know planets, animals, and the body.
Friendship
Friendships are about our ability to create and nurture good relations with each other. We focus on friendship, interaction, and empathy. How can we influence each other with goodness and joy? We use Jesus as a role model. He showed care, respect, love, and was a true friend to everyone.
Compassion
We focus on caring for each other and that everyone has something to contribute and share. We learn how Jesus treated other people and some of the stories He told. How can we contribute to making the world a better place for everyone?
