Our teachers are constantly trained and guided to deliver excellent education and care taking cognizance of research developments and innovations in early child education and care. Our teachers and minders are trained to teach and care based on the ITEACH principles.Each Class is headed by a lead teacher who by our policy must be a graduate.The leader is supported by class assistants who hold a minimum of an OND.
​
Class size
We maintain a small class size or child to teacher ratio.For Children below two years,the ratio is four children to one staff (4:1) while for those above two years,the ratio is six children to one staff (6:1).This ensures concentrated learning, each child is known and carried along.However considering floor space the maximum number of children is 18 in a large room or 12 in a small room with the right number of Educators by ratio.
​
NO CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND!
Our Educators understand the uniqueness of each child and the essence of a positive relationship and an enabling environment in achieving learning and development.We have therefore perfected the act of followig each child at his or her own pace using multiple intelligence approach to ensure that each child learns through their areas of strength.No Child is more important than the other,all are cared for on same level as we do not entertain parental influence.The focus is on the Child.
