The initial financial contribution required to open a Kipinä franchise typically ranges between €150,000 and €400,000. This amount covers franchise fees, facility setup, staff training, branding, and initial marketing campaigns. Ideal franchisees are business-oriented individuals or organizations who are passionate about education and capable of building a long-term operation with strong ties to the local community. While an education background is helpful, it is not a strict requirement, as Kipinä offers comprehensive training and support.

What franchisees receive

Kipinä provides franchisees with full support throughout the launch and operation of the preschool. This includes customized architectural and interior designs suited to the local environment, initial and ongoing training for both management and teaching staff, as well as access to Kipinä’s proprietary curriculum and digital learning tools. The franchise also grants use of Kipinä’s brand identity and offers marketing assets tailored to the specific region. Franchisees are further supported with operational guidance, assistance in quality control, and help in complying with local education regulations. This all contributes to building a high-quality educational institution under a globally recognized name.

Responsibilities of franchisees

Franchisees are responsible for securing a suitable location that aligns with Kipinä’s space and design standards. They must also hire and manage a qualified teaching team and administrative staff, implement Kipinä’s curriculum and teaching methodology, and oversee day-to-day school operations. Local marketing and community outreach are also key responsibilities, as is maintaining regular communication and cooperation with Kipinä headquarters. Franchisees are expected to uphold the brand’s values and standards while adapting to the needs of their specific market and regulatory context.
