India’s first Finnish-style preschool launching in Mumbai, Maharashtra in April with FinlandWay® Schools

FinlandWay® Schools is bringing Finnish early childhood education to India with Garodia International Learning Centre in Mumbai, a part of the long-standing Garodia Education Group.

The unit in Mumbai will be the first of at least three FinlandWay® Schools in the city, with the remaining units set to open within the next two years. 

India’s Union Cabinet approved its New Education Policy in July 2020 and the new policy brings national standards, values and ideology of early childhood education close to those of Finland. As a result, families will see early education as an integral part of the learning pathway and will be seeking for high quality early childhood education. 

Cooperation based on shared values

The cooperation between Garodia and FinlandWay® is based on shared values where the child is placed at the centre of learning. Garodia Education has for a long time operated with a holistic and child centred approach, where the children are valued as individuals and the school’s safe learning environment is supporting children’s growth and development into active agents. 

We are very happy about our new partnership with Garodia Education, a team of well-established, dedicated and leading educators who are aligned with our values”, says FinlandWay®’s Chief Executive and Co-Founder, Ms Noora Laitio

It is exciting to be entering the Indian market with such an experienced partner with a multi-unit growth map. Bringing in FinlandWay® at this moment coincides with the country’s new National Education Policy and we can set a great leading example of child-centred, innovative, science-based early education from the start.
