Kaya ChildCare
Early childhood development for the Kayayoo’s child.
Quality pre-primary education for every child
“…ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education”
– SDG Goal 4.2 –
Our Model is designed to meet the need and unique lifestyle and working conditions of the Kayayoo mother and other low-income mothers who live and work on the streets and in markets in the urban areas.
Distance
Our center is located within a walking distance of the mother’s dwelling or the market, ensuring little to no cost to access. It also encourages the mother to bring her child daily without worrying about taking too much time off her morning work hours
Communication
We engage with the mothers as partners. Therefore, sharing mutual respect and trust. We work hand-in-hand and keep open communication to allow us maintain the child’s development trajectory even with disruptions in the mother’s schedule or work
Learning through play
We combine a variety of learning models to provide a smooth transition for the child from school to home. We use recycled learning material, and engage through play while remaining in sync with the Ghana Education Service pre-school curriculum
