At Valo School, we nurture every child's curiosity through play-based learning, emotional well-being, and the warmth of Finnish educational philosophy.
"Valo" means light in Finnish — and that is exactly what every child brings into the world. At Valo School, we believe that light should never be rushed, dimmed, or compared — it should be nurtured gently through warmth, play, and connection.
Founded by a passionate early childhood educator who believes deeply in the power of love, respect, and play, Valo School was inspired by the world-renowned Finnish early education philosophy.
Our philosophy is grounded in the Finnish early childhood education approach, which values play, emotional well-being, and holistic growth.
We maintain high standards in early childhood practice. Our educators are caring professionals — trained, reflective, and dedicated.
We honour every child's individuality — their pace, voice, and culture.
We inspire a love for learning that lasts a lifetime through curiosity and exploration.
Connection builds trust — and trust builds learning.
Empathy is at the heart of how we teach and care.
Our programs are designed around each child's developmental stage — ensuring every child grows at their own pace through play, discovery, and connection.

Founder of Valo School Playschool | Early Childhood Educator | Mother
For Ainah De Waal, education is more than a profession — it is a calling of the heart. As both a mother and an educator, she understands that the earliest years of life shape who a child becomes.
Her journey began with a deep belief: every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured with respect. She was deeply inspired by the Finnish education philosophy — one that values play and emotional well-being.
Education begins with love. When we nurture children with warmth and respect, learning happens naturally.
We'd love to hear from you. Whether you're ready to enroll your little one or just want to learn more about Valo School, we're here to help.
