Welcome to the School of Early Childhood, Primary and the Creative Arts. This School comprises three units: Early Childhood Education, Primary Education and Special Education.
Our mission is to prepare our student teachers to become agents of change who will employ 21st century teaching methodologies and use research to drive practices in any educational institution they may be employed.
The faculty includes experts in their respective fields.

Research
The faculty have committed themselves to engage in groundbreaking research that will add to the knowledge base used to inform educational policy and practice. We present on topical issues that affect our children at national and international conferences.
Community Service and Outreach
As part of its mission to give back to the surrounding communities, the School has formed partnerships with several schools, groups, policy makers and the Ministry of Education Youth and Information.
We seek to:
-
Address the need for continuous professional development by conducting workshops for in-service teachers who need to improve their pedagogical skills.
-
Give technical support to early childhood, primary and special needs schools as they execute calendar events.
-
Work to improve the physical plant of primary schools.
-
Create innovative ways to collect and supply early childhood institutions with educational materials.
-
Support national initiatives geared towards improving the lives of students who have special needs.
