Words from our franchisees

Laetitia Lopez, Pedagogical Director, KidzMania FinlandWay®

Words from our franchisees

“We are proud to be part of FinlandWay® educational system, that makes our students better citizens of the world.”

Ibtissam Choukri, Director, KidzMania FinlandWay®

Words from our franchisees

“We believe that early years is a key to a child’s development. That’s the reason we are very delighted to be a FinlandWay® school. We share the same vision and thrive to make a difference.”

Nishant Garodia, Director, Garodia International FinlandWay®

Words from our franchisees

“I believe that being a FinlandWay® school brings enormous value to the children in our school and to the young generation of Tangier. We signed the agreement in the spring of 2020, without letting COVID-19 prevent us from doing so – that’s how strongly we believe in it.”

Younès Alaoui, Director, Al Amana FinlandWay®

Words from our franchisees

“FinlandWay really revolutionised our preschool: learning became fun, but with a very clear foundation so that children can internalise the teachings properly. As a result, we not only see happy children but also teachers equipped and capable of accompanying the children on their path of play-based learning.“

Monica Rosas, Head Teacher, Nido Kidsworld FinlandWay®

Words from our franchisees

“FinlandWay really gets the kids involved in their learning, we had to extend the activities often because the kids were so excited – they did not want to leave at the end of the day! The programme was positively perceived by the parents, too. The systematic progress evaluation generates concreteness, and it’s a great differentiator. The system helps the teacher to be more involved with the children and the class.“

Carlos, Owner, Colegio Itatiaia Morumbi FinlandWay® pilot unit

Words from our franchisees

“When the training started, wow, that’s when we realised what really makes the difference.“
