Part 5 of 5
We continue our highly appreciated guest blog with Ranjan Goyal, Senior Preschool Consultant.
When businesses adopt new systems or strategies, they plan carefully: defining goals, training staff, providing tools, and measuring outcomes. Preschool transformation is no different. In a previous blog, we discussed the critical role of the Owner in driving the change, and now we take the next step.
Changing how teachers plan lessons, interact with children, and assess learning doesn’t happen automatically. It’s a change in mindset, daily habits, and teamwork. Without structure and support, most teachers naturally return to the old, familiar ways of doing things.
This is why simply introducing Finnish lesson plans or conducting one-time training sessions isn’t enough. They might inspire teachers for a few weeks — but soon, old routines take over.
To make change last, we need a holistic structure that helps teachers:
- Understand why playful learning works
- Implement how it looks in their daily routine
- Reflect on what children are learning through observation and assessment
That’s precisely what Kindiedays helps preschools achieve.
🧩 The 3 Pillars of Successful Preschool Transformation
Let’s look at how this change management process works in a preschool environment.
1. A Clear Pedagogical Framework
Every successful preschool transformation starts with a clear vision: What kind of learning experience do we want for children?
In Finland, education is guided by holistic learning — supporting every child’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth. It’s not about memorizing numbers or letters early; it’s about developing curiosity, confidence, and social skills that form the foundation for lifelong learning.
Kindiedays adapts these Finnish principles to local curriculums, helping preschools define clear learning goals that fit their context — whether they follow CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, EYFS, or state guidelines.
2. Empowered and Supported Teachers
Teachers are the heart of every preschool. But asking them to change their teaching methods without continuous support is unfair and unrealistic.
Through Kindiedays Academy workshops, teachers learn how to integrate playful learning into their classrooms — through practical examples, reflection, and group discussions. The training doesn’t end after one workshop. Teachers are encouraged to observe, document, and discuss their daily practices with their peers, creating a culture of ongoing professional growth.
When teachers feel confident and supported, they naturally create more engaging and nurturing learning environments for children.
3. Digital Tools to Make Learning Visible
Transformation becomes sustainable only when teachers have tools that make new practices easier to implement — not harder.
The Kindiedays digital platform provides exactly that support:
- Teachers set learning goals for each child.
- They observe and document daily learning moments.
- Portfolios automatically build up to show each child’s progress.
- Parents receive updates that make learning transparent.
- Managers can monitor quality through reports and dashboards.
This structure transforms abstract learning into something visible, measurable, and meaningful.

🎯 Setting Learning Goals and Measuring Progress
In traditional preschools, daily activities often happen without clear learning goals. Teachers may do circle time, crafts, or story reading, but rarely connect these activities to specific learning outcomes.
Finnish-inspired education—and the Kindiedays approach—change this.
Every activity links to a goal, such as:
- “Children learn to express emotions using words.”
- “Children explore mathematical thinking through sorting and counting.”
- “Children develop motor skills through outdoor play.”
By documenting what children do and say, teachers observe learning in action. These observations become evidence for assessment, parent communication, and quality audits.
Over time, preschools can track trends and identify areas for improvement. For example:
- Are we supporting emotional development enough?
- Are some teachers documenting more comprehensively than others?
- Are children progressing across all learning domains?
The Kindiedays Manager Dashboard makes this process seamless by automatically collecting data, presenting it in visual reports, and supporting decision-making for continuous improvement.
🔍 From Observation to Quality Audits – Professionalising Preschool Management
Quality assurance is often overlooked in early education. Yet, just like in any professional organization, preschools need systematic methods to ensure and improve quality.
In Finland, preschools use self-evaluation and quality audits to reflect on their practices.
Kindiedays brings this professional approach to your school through:
- Quality indicators aligned with holistic learning
- Digital checklists for classroom observations
- Reports that provide evidence for improvement
- Dashboards to support decision-making
These tools help school leaders conduct structured quality audits and guide teachers based on real data — not just impressions.
When parents see evidence of learning, when teachers reflect and grow, and when managers lead with insight, the preschool truly transforms.
🌈 Real Change Comes from Within
Adopting a Finnish brand or curriculum can be a strong first step — it signals commitment to quality education.
But lasting transformation happens only when teachers embrace new ways of working and when the preschool’s leadership provides the structure and tools to help them succeed.
With Kindiedays, preschools get a complete solution:
- Digital tools to connect learning goals, observations, and communication
- Teacher training to build confidence in playful learning
- Lesson plans inspired by Finland and adapted to local curriculums
- Quality audits and dashboards to track progress and improvement
This is the Finnish way — and the sustainable way — to build a high-quality preschool.
