ABOUT US

EDUCARE was established in 1987 and welcomes families of all nationalities. We aim at excellence and take into account the needs of the various nationalities. We challenge the intellect of each child, with our teaching materials.

EDUCARE has a well-planned international based curriculum / scheme of work that is loaded with intellectual and physical stimulating activities.  This offers a head start in computer science, arts and crafts, pre-maths, pre-science, pre-reading, pre-writing and basic developmental skills and extra curricula activities that make learning fun in an international environment.

EDUCARE provides a safe, caring and supportive atmosphere which allows the children to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Our pupils are encouraged to be enquiring, creative and motivated learners which make them stand out among their peers.

All our staff members are dedicated to the promotions of high quality learning.

All our teachers are well qualified and experienced in the delivery of our hybrid curriculum. The management makes sure that there is constant staff training by organizing in-house workshops and seminars and also send teachers for overseas training annually.

Our minders are meticulous and dedicated to the welfare of the children. Management ensures that there are frequent in-house workshops for the training of our minders in several relevant areas.

PHILOSOPHY

Every child has the ability to learn starting from the day of birth and we believe in creating and enabling environment where each child can achieve his/her full potential.

Young children develop very quickly and the first five years see the greatest growth and learning for all children. 

We seek to provide every child with the very best start in their learning and development. Our aim is to celebrate and build upon children’s’ personalities, abilities and talents regardless of their culture, religion, language, gender or ability.  We provide a vibrant and enabling environment which fosters positive relationships and a real love of learning.  All of our Early Years practitioners work closely with children and their families to support their learning and development.

We believe that excellent caring is paramount to early childhood survival and that education includes the learning of knowledge and skills.

We embrace the child developmental ideology of Piaget’s learning through play and discoveries with Vygotsky’s guided learning to some extent.

VISION

Our children will grow to be leaders in their chosen field of human endeavour.

MISSION
