Our Teachers

We strive to prepare our children as respectable, responsible, caring, and knowledgeable long-life learning children. We encourage success, leading to self-reliance and economic, social, and political societal contributions. We believe children who know their African heritage have unlimited potential; they can flourish and bring about a brighter world if appropriately nourished.

Kim George-Holt Owner/Director, Master of Early Education and a Bachelor in Science in Business, Child Development Associate (CDA)

I started this business because my nephew passed away from Sickle Cell Anemia disease at 9, and I wanted to bring awareness to early detection. The other reason was adolescent suicide and crime among children under 15. I believe there was a lack of Black History and Culture taught in the community and schools. Children need to know who they are, where they come from, and why.

I wanted to provide an exclusive environment for infants to 6 years old while providing them education in their most formative years about the history and culture of all people of color and the emphasis on African ancestry in teaching and learning.

Studies have shown that from infants to five years old, a child’s brain develops more than any other period in a child’s life, and I want to capture that.
