Introduction

Bringing the Finnish preschool model to the whole world

“The root of the HEI Schools concept is to think big: we will consider our project a success once high-standard early education and the HEI Schools concept are accessible to as many families in terms of both cost and physical distance. It’s part of our Nordic genome: leveraging volume to make a well-designed product available to as many people as possible.”

Milla Kokko, CEO

HEI Schools was co-founded by the University of Helsinki and experienced educational & design experts in Finland due to the increasing global demand for high quality early childhood education.

HEI Schools early childhood education model i.e. the HEI curriculum is derived from the research-based Finnish educational approach. The HEI curriculum is supported by high quality teacher training, Nordic space design, carefully selected learning materials and operational support to make the HEI Concept.
