Experience world-class Finnish education that brings together play-based learning and inclusive education—all under one roof!
HEI Schools Singapore is founded by Jayne Nadarajoo, the pioneering educator behind the renowned White Lodge Preschools, Avondale Grammar School and Melbourne International School, in collaboration with HEI Schools and University of Helsinki, Finland which is recognised as one of the finest early childhood education systems in the world! The school follows a play-based, child-centred approach that prioritises emotional wellbeing, curiosity and holistic development, while laying strong foundations for lifelong learning.
HEI Schools is an award-winning international kindergarten from Finland, consistently ranked among the world’s leading education systems. Our pedagogy and curriculum are developed in collaboration with our co-founding partner, the University of Helsinki, and are grounded in the latest research in early childhood education. These approaches have been tested in preschools across Finland, delivering proven and positive outcomes.
At HEI Schools, we support each child’s learning and holistic development by integrating education, upbringing, and care. Education is delivered through intentional pedagogical practices embedded in daily, weekly, and monthly activities. Upbringing focuses on the transmission of cultural values and social skills, while care addresses each child’s social, emotional, and physical well-being.
Inspired by Finnish Early Childhood Education, the HEI Schools concept nurtures children’s curiosity, creativity, active participation, and sense of agency, with play and exploration at its core. Our mission is to be responsive to the needs of every child by creating a safe, supportive environment where all aspects of their daily life are aligned. When children feel secure, they are free to explore, experiment, and learn. At HEI Schools, we foster the joy of learning and embrace the freedom to fail, recognising that growth comes through experience.
