In a world where nobody knows what technologies will be important in the future, we have to teach children to teach themselves. Transferring knowledge is not enough. Children also need skills, attitudes and values to thrive.
Kipinä has developed, tested and perfected, a 21st Century Enhanced Finland Curriculum that's supported with amazing tools and resources.
200+ Weekly Lesson Plans. Your Teachers Will Love You
Finland is blessed with largely free or highly subsidised education. Consequently, Finnish teachers are highly educated (usually to Master's degree level) and they are exposed to many disciplines and learning pathways. Kipinä has created more than 200 weekly lesson plans for children aged from birth to 6 years. Teachers can use these lesson plans to deliver expertly crafted activities that guide children on their learning journeys.
Real-Time, Live Feed, Parent Apps (iOS + Android)
Parents download their app from Apple or Google Play. It works seamlessly with any modern late model smart phone. They enter their login details and wham! - their screen is automatically populated with their child's information and a daily feed. Here they can see photos, videos, messages, diary notes, and progress reports that have been shared by their child's teacher in real-time. They can see activities their child is doing today and how that relates to the curriculum, lesson plans and learning objectives.

What do our franchise partners say?
Working with Kipinä has been a great pleasure. Kipinä brings the highest standards and best international practices across all areas from project management to design to teacher training and marketing. The directors are experts and are always happy to share their knowledge. They have been beside us every step of the way and share our commitment to Indonesia and our excitement in already opening 4 beautiful new Kipinä campuses with another 4 by mid 2023.
