Welcome to Um Nasser Finland Preschools!

At Um Nasser Finland Preschools, we bring Finland’s Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) model to life in a warm, bilingual environment. Our experienced educators nurture each child’s curiosity, creativity, and love for learning in a modern, play-focused setting designed for exploration and growth.

Adapted from this model, our approach blends academic development with emotional well-being and individual growth. We believe children learn best when learning is personalized, hands-on, and connected to real life.

Play is central to everything we do. Through play-based learning, children develop key life skills like collaboration, creativity, and emotional awareness, while building a strong foundation for future academic success.

At Um Nasser Finland Preschools, your child will do more than learn – they’ll grow, explore, and thrive.

History of partnership

 

S Eleven Educational and EduCluster Finland

Um Nasser Finland Preschools was formed through a strategic partnership established in October 2024 between Bahrain-based S Eleven Educational and EduCluster Finland (ECF), a global leader in Finnish education services. This collaboration aimed to bring the Finnish ECEC model to the Kingdom of Bahrain, integrating it with local cultural values.

The first preschool officially opened its doors in early 2025 in West Riffa. EduCluster Finland established a local branch office to oversee the operational leadership, ensuring the implementation of Finnish pedagogical practices. The curriculum emphasizes play-based learning, holistic development, and personalized education, fostering creativity, social-emotional growth, and foundational academic skills.

The partnership between S Eleven Educational and EduCluster Finland reflects a shared commitment to enhancing educational offerings in Bahrain. By combining Finnish ECEC with Bahraini cultural heritage, Um Nasser Finland Preschools aims to provide a nurturing environment where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, preparing them to be well-rounded global citizens.
