Welcome to IT-Tajra Child Care Facility!

It-Tajra Child Care Facility caters for the pre-school education of children aged 2 years to 3years 11 months in October. The pre-school classroom set-up, where structured play is the predominant factor, reflects the belief that children learn best in a stimulating yet ordered environment. Hence, the classroom is open plan and divided into well-defined areas including home corner, messy area, block centre, audio-visual and IT corners amongst others. The Facility also includes provision for nappy changing and a sleeping area for children attending for more than five hours. Outdoor activities held in the Facility’s two outdoor play areas provide the necessary balance complementing the activities held indoors.

The Facility’s main goals are outlined below:


The Social and Emotional (Affective) Development of the child;

The formation of good health habits;

The Physical (Gross and Fine Motor) Development of the child;

Development of the child’s imaginative and creative capabilities;

Motivating the child to desire and seek information and understanding; and

Development of the cognitive process appropriate to the young child with particular emphasis on communication skills.
