Our background is in education. We have been running an international kindergarten and preschool in Helsinki, Finland since 2018 for children aged one to six, built on the Finnish early education plan, international STEAM learning, and our own learning periods, designed by education professionals specifically for preschool-age children.
We aim for balanced growth, top-level early education, and children who grow into superpowered adults of the future.
"When children feel truly seen and supported, they become more curious, confident and compassionate. That is the kind of environment we are building at Nordic Playdates."
Jenny grew up in Finland, speaking Cantonese at home and Finnish everywhere else. Years later, when she went looking for a kindergarten for her own children where they could keep both languages alive, she couldn't find one. So she founded it.
Little Heroes International Kindergarten opened in Lauttasaari in 2018 as the first kindergarten in Finland offering regular Mandarin Chinese teaching.
Jenny holds a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Helsinki.
