What FINE offers

Three pillars of kindergarten excellence

From pedagogy and curriculum to teacher training and digital tools — FINE covers everything your school needs to reach international standards.

Finnish Pedagogy & Playful Learning

Finnish pedagogy makes every day a fun, inspiring, and educational experience through playful learning and phenomenon-based approaches, while supporting the academic requirements of your local society. Our childcare standards are extremely high — parents can rest assured their children are in good hands and enjoying inspirational content every day.

What's included in the program

Everything your kindergarten needs to thrive

One intensive program. Six schools. Real, measurable transformation handled by experts.

Curriculum Implementation

We adapt the world's leading early childhood framework to your school — play-based learning, phonics, and child development best practices.

Teacher Training

Hands-on training in Finnish pedagogy, English-medium instruction, and modern classroom management for your entire teaching team.

Full Digitalisation

We take over your school's digital transformation end-to-end — website, classroom tech, admin systems, and online presence.

EU & UN Funding Access

Direct access to EU and UN grant pipelines most kindergartens never reach — our team handles the applications alongside you.

Parent Engagement Toolkit

Tools and frameworks that extend learning beyond the classroom and help parents stay actively engaged in their child's development.

Long-Term Support

Ongoing monitoring, coaching, and access to FINE resources after the cohort ends — we stay involved to ensure improvements last.

30% Off

Grant support for digital tools — cost should never hold you back

BøthOfUs provides a 30% subsidy toward digital solutions implemented during the program. We handle procurement, setup, and training. You get world-class tools at a fraction of the cost, backed by EU digital innovation funding.

Who can apply

Built for kindergartens ready to grow

You don't need to be perfect — you just need to be ready to improve. If any of these describe your school, we want to hear from you.

Wants to modernise

You need an upgrade in tech and infrastructure but aren't sure where to begin.

Curriculum gaps to fill

Your teaching quality could be stronger or you want an internationally recognised framework.

Growth-focused

You're a director or owner actively working to scale, improve reputation, or attract more families.

Little digital presence

Your school has minimal online visibility — no strong website, social presence, or digital systems.

Seeking international standards

You want your school recognised as globally competitive and aligned with Finnish education quality marks.

Open to investment

You're willing to invest in long-term improvement — and benefit from our grant support to reduce costs.
