Invest in your child’s future

About Us

The CocoRio founders, Corinna and Léa, grew up surrounded by creativity, which has had a significant role in shaping who they are today. Both professionals in the creative and business realm as well as the childcare space, they set out to build a concept which would improves children’s lives through creativity and connection.

Our name, CocoRio, tells our story: ‘Coco’ is short for Corinna, while ‘Rio’ is the name of Léa’s first born. Coco is symbolic for our creative nannies and mentors, and their invaluable importance in the lives of not only the children they look after, but also in providing a support network for families as a whole. Rio represents all the children of the world, for whom CocoRio exists and for whom we strive to craft a better, more creative world.

Our creative learning framework

By integrating music, movement, art and language into the daily lives of children, our creative learning framework encourages well-rounded development and learning by:

  • Aligning with the EYFS

  • Blending elements of Montessori and the Finnish Education system

  • Playing and exploring - children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’

  • Active learning - Children persist through challenges and find joy in their achievements

  • Creating and thinking critically - Children process and cultivate their own ideas, forge connections between concepts, and devise strategies

  • Creating a safe space for children to thrive and learn in an unstructured environment
