Teaching opportunity: We are an internationally accredited Early year and preschool, situated in Upanga, Dar es Salaam. Our focus is on meeting the core objects of the Academy – to ensure level competency in reading, writing, speaking, and counting.

We recognize children as unique individuals, celebrating their voice and interests while making learning visible and meaningful through authentic documentation and collaboration with our parent community.
