What Our Partners Think

Sudino Lim

CEO Kipinä Indonesia

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 having already opened 10 beautiful successful Kipinä campuses with another 3 opening in 2026. Our schools are fully subscribed and our staff retention is exemplary.

Imane Boucharra

Director, Morocco

We are thrilled to be part of the big Kipinä family. Since day one, Kipinä directors took charge of our project and supported us every step of the way, from developing the architectural plans, internal design, the list of suppliers, internal processes, marketing strategies to the full Curriculum and lessons plans - being part of the Kipinä family is the best choice we have made. Our school reached full capacity very fast.

Muzaffar Ismayilov

Managing Director, Baku, Azerbaijan

Our journey with Kipinä began in 2019, and the partnership has transformed both our kindergarten and the families we serve.

With Kipinä’s support, we upgraded our facility to meet higher standards and created a more stimulating learning environment. The teacher training provided through HAME University also played a major role in strengthening our educational offering.

Kipinä’s support during the COVID-19 pandemic proved the strength of the model, helping us continue to deliver quality education even remotely. Parents have responded very positively, with growing confidence in our school reflected in full enrolment and a strong waiting list.

Because of this success, we are opening a second purpose-built school in September 2026. Kipinä’s professionalism, support and innovation have been central to that progress.

Amaal Al Somalia

Director, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia

I am so glad to be part of Kipinä. Every step of our business, from programs to training our staff, marketing and operations is supported by corporate.

I decided to invest in Kipinä as the Finnish Education program is the best in the word, and I wanted this program to be part of the different education programs available in Saudi.

This education model - making kids learn and have fun at the same time, making a meaningful impact in my community, (coupled with a good business model), made Kipinä the perfect partners for me.

“

Shiraz Belhassan

Director, Rabat, Morocco

My experience with the Kipinä franchise has exceeded expectations. The brand stands out for its strong support and genuine commitment to franchisee growth.

The directors are accessible and easy to reach, and the tools and resources provided have helped us optimise key areas of the school, from curriculum to HR and finance. Kipinä’s training is practical and comprehensive, covering class management, curriculum design and character development in ways that support daily operations.

What also stands out is the tone of the relationship. It is friendly, collaborative and grounded in real experience. That support has helped us open an innovative and successful first school in Rabat.

Delia Ionele

Managing Director, Timisoara, Romania

When we started our journey we wanted to set high standards for our kindergarten. We found Kipinä and immediately realised we share the same values and goals.

Kipinä gave us a lot of support in preparations, training materials and setting up our facility which has helped us become a very “cool kindergarten” in our city.

Kipinä managers are always supporting us and are problem solvers with simple yet efficient solutions.

Our children love the Kipinä curricula, and enjoy LEARNING THROUGH PLAY. Our parents are excited by the progress of their children.

We are happy to be in the Kipinä family!

Join the Kipinä Family

Demand for quality education has never been higher, consider: more working mums in dual income nuclear families, rapid urbanisation, rising household incomes, government subsidies, and a growing realisation that the most important time to make a positive difference in a child's education and acadmic life is before the age of six.

It's no wonder then that entrepreneurs and educators appreciate the elegance of Kipinä's truly international, multilingual, child-focused but teacher-guided curriculum - built on the celebrated strength of Finland's teacher training.

In a world full of cookie-cutter, more-of-the-same preschool franchises, Kipinä stands out for its quality-over-quantity philosophy, its careful and rigorous support for our partners and a commitment to offering the absolute best early childhood education to our parents.
