Yasmin's Story
The Inspiring Odyssey
It all began with a dream, a father's dream
Yasmin Mubarak, a dedicated parent and visionary entrepreneur, yearned to reshape the way children learn. Fueled by his own experiences with traditional education and a burning passion to celebrate each child's uniqueness, Yasmin embarked on a journey that would forever transform early childhood education in Sri Lanka.
Driven by his vision, Yasmin pursued advanced studies in psychology and journeyed across the globe, immersing himself in schools, empowering children, and uncovering the pivotal role of parents in early education. These experiences led him to a powerful realization: the need for high-quality early childhood development centers in shaping young minds.
Yasmin transformed adversity into opportunity, channeling the challenges he faced, including enduring bullying for his communication skills, into the driving force behind creating a groundbreaking educational center. And so, the Modern Learning Studio was born, offering innovative programs focused on public speaking, communication skills, reading, and holistic child development.
As a father, Yasmin's pursuit of a suitable preschool for his own children exposed a disheartening dearth of quality options. Undeterred, he dared to create a preschool that melded his pioneering ideas with Finland's globally celebrated educational principles. Yasmin's unwavering belief in the unique contributions men could bring to early education culminated in the establishment of the Finnish Preschool in Colombo, beginning with his two daughters and three other children.
From these humble beginnings, Finnish Preschool in Colombo has flourished, now operating in three locations and officially implementing Finland's lauded approach to early childhood education. Yasmin's audacious vision even led to the establishment of Sri Lanka's first preschool and daycare within the country's largest mall.
Today, Finnish Preschool in Colombo stands as an extraordinary testament to Yasmin's unyielding dedication, offering children an unparalleled educational experience that cherishes their individuality and paves the way for their brightest futures. Join us in celebrating this incredible journey that has reshaped the landscape of early childhood education in Sri Lanka.
Breaking New Ground
Yasmin Mubarak's innovative spirit extended to creating a premier center at One Galle Face Mall, where parents can drop their kids for quality one-on-one playdates with qualified coaches. Additionally, he established Sri Lanka's first preschool and daycare center in the same mall, named the Finnish Overseas Preschool. This initiative provides a safe and nurturing environment for parents visiting Sri Lanka in the short term, ensuring their children are in a quality, secure setting. Yasmin's commitment to education and community knows no bounds.
