Learning Everywhere, Learning All The Time
HEI UAE Early Learning Centres are meticulously designed to encourage children to interact, explore, rest and unwind while discovering the joys of learning in every little detail, for there is always something to gain in every little step.
KHDA approved curriculum from Finland
The HEI UAE Curriculum has been localised to the UAE and is fully approved by the KHDA. Our curriculum embeds the UAE’s culture, heritage and values by offering Arabic language classes, social and moral education, cultural studies, as well as Islamic studies for Muslim children, and a celebration of all national events in the UAE.

The HEI Pedagogy
Inspired by Finland’s approach to early childhood education, we take the best that Finland has to offer and combine it with other best practices in our progressive, emerging pedagogy. We continuously update our pedagogy based on the latest in educational research, which is provided by our academic partner, the University of Helsinki. Together, we educate children who are not only capable of adapting to the changing world, but of changing the world themselves.
At HEI UAE, we promote the joy of learning and support the freedom of failing, encouraging growth through experiencing both. The pedagogy and curriculum are designed to provide purposeful play, to nurture with guidance from highly qualified teachers, and to offer opportunity to adopt learning as a natural process shaped by one’s interests. The HEI concept enhances the child’s perspective, active participation, curiosity, creativity, embodying the importance of play and exploring.
