Kids Are Kids schools embrace new education trends

The state-of-the art learning centres, which villagers in Seke and residents in Southlea say have changed the face of their areas, have turned out to be educational institutes of choice, thanks to the adoption of emerging trends in education technology.

Kids Are Kids, private primary schools in Seke, Mashonaland East province and Southlea Park in Harare have embraced new trends and technologies in their thrust to prepare future generations to thrive in a rapidly developing world.

The state-of-the art learning centres, which villagers in Seke and residents in Southlea say have changed the face of their areas, have turned out to be educational institutes of choice, thanks to the adoption of emerging trends in education technology.

Kids Are Kids schools also boast of ultra-modern sporting facilities.

“We are moving with the times so we have embraced new trends and technologies,” said school’s director Lauretta Wanyanya.

“We have constructed state-of-the-art information communication technology centres at both schools.”

Kelvin Mutsvairo, from Mutsvairo Village in Seke, said the construction of the school is good for the community that has been lagging behind in as far as development is concerned.

“We have been anticipating having such schools in this area,” he said.

“Seke is fast becoming a peri urban area hence we need to set standards as far as infrastructure development is concerned.

“We are happy that traditional leaders are supporting such initiatives; it is for the better of the community.

“We plead for those with the capacity to come and establish more schools and other businesses.”

Both schools’ enrollments are pegged at 250 learners.

Wanyanya said it was high time for the Seke and Southlea Park communities to have elite learning centres that offer quality education.

“The Dema and Southlea Park communities have great business opportunities and Kids Are Kids infant schools would want to grow with the communities by offering quality educational services,” she said.

“We identified a bridging gap between the low-income and high income parents in Seke and have filled in the gap by offering the best possible environment which is conducive for learning and give quality service which we are offering at our bigger branch in Southlea Park.”

Wanyanya said most of the construction of the schools were completed last year and they have since opened more classrooms this year.

“Our aim is to set an example of how a modern school looks like,” she said.

“However, just like any school or business, the current economic hardship will certainly affect the operations of the school.

“The cost of running a school is very high but we are determined to scale to greater rights and maintain our standards.”

She said the reception has been overwhelming since opening doors to the public.

“We never thought that we would be having such an enrollment in Seke,” Wanyanya said.

“The community welcomed us and it is promising.
