Discover Preschool Programs Designed for the Future

Inspired by the Finnish Education Model

At FinlandWay® Schools, our preschool programs are built on the world-renowned Finnish education system—play-based, child-centred, and focused on the whole child. These programs combine academic development with emotional and social growth, offering every child a confident and balanced start. Our preschool programs aren’t just about learning; they’re about thriving.

What Makes an Effective Preschool Program?

Core Principles of Our Preschool Programs

Child-centred learning:
Our preschool programs are designed to meet each child where they are. Every learner grows at their own pace, with personalised support that nurtures their strengths and encourages independent thinking.

Play-based exploration:
Play is the heart of our preschool programs. Through guided play, children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and an understanding of the world around them—all while having fun.

Social-emotional growth:
Our preschool programs help children build emotional intelligence. From managing feelings to forming friendships, we equip them with lifelong interpersonal skills that are just as important as academics.

Why Finnish-Inspired Preschool Programs Set the Global Standard

Preschool programs built on the Finnish education model are gaining global recognition—and for good reason. This approach puts well-being, equity, and deep learning at the core of early education. At FinlandWay®, we bring these principles into every one of our preschool programs to help children grow in a balanced, joyful, and stress-free environment

Equity Over Competition

In our preschool programs, every child receives the same high-quality experience—regardless of background. Our inclusive learning environments close learning gaps early, giving all children a fair start.

Minimal Testing, Maximum Discovery

Our preschool programs focus on real learning, not repetitive testing. Teachers use continuous observation and personalised feedback to support each child’s development, fostering a love for learning instead of exam stress.

Key Features of Our Preschool Programs at FinlandWay®

At FinlandWay® Schools, our preschool programs are thoughtfully designed to support every aspect of a child’s development. Rooted in the Finnish model, we combine innovative methods with hands-on learning to prepare children for school—and for life.

Integrated Learning Through Themes

Our preschool programs connect subjects through real-world, cross-curricular themes. This helps children build logical thinking, make meaningful connections, and apply what they learn in everyday situations.

Emotional Intelligence as a Priority

We embed emotional learning in all our preschool programs. Children are taught to express their feelings, build empathy, and form healthy relationships—skills essential for life inside and outside the classroom.

Outdoor and Nature-Based Activities

Children learn best when they move and explore. Our preschool programs include regular outdoor time, promoting physical health, curiosity, and a deeper connection with nature.

Strong Home–School Partnerships

Parents are an essential part of our preschool programs. We engage families in the learning journey to ensure children feel supported, valued, and motivated every step of the way.
