About the HelpKids
Education Centre
The Helpkids Education Centre provides education programs for children from low income families.
​
Our aim is to give each child the oppurtunity to learn and grow. We also strive to care for and educate the family as a whole.
Our Mission
Our mission at The HelpKids Education Centre is to focus on the whole child by providing a secure, nurturing, and educational environment for children; a place for children to bloom into responsible, considerate and contributing members of society.
The HelpKids Education Centre wants all children to have the opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually by exploring, playing and learning with others in a happy, safe and healthy environment.
Our Education Programs
The Helpkids Montessori School (Early Childhood education program)
In The Montessori we encourage children to develop independence, concentration and a love for work and play.
We encourage children to respect each other and teach them about protecting themselves from abuse which is so widespread in every community. We make them aware of safe hygiene practices and how to care for themselves and their environment.
Our education philosophy draws upon a variety of educational approaches to support each child's optimum growth and development as well as make children's learning visible and enjoyable. We use the Montessori Method of Education and believe that each child is different and can grow and learn in the correct learning environment.

The Life Skills-Based Education Program (LSBEP)
The Life Skills-Based Education Program is a form of education that focuses on cultivating personal life skills needed for everyday life. It is available to all past pupils of The Helpkids Montessori School as well as their siblings. Learning and cultivating basic life skills will help a child become independent, responsible, caring and valuable member of society. As a result, they will begin to understand themselves and others better. They will learn skills that will help them to think and change and to work towards breaking the cycle of poverty which is not just limited to money or poverty in living conditions. Poverty in potential and thinking is the greatest poverty of all. Children need to be encouraged to think beyond poverty as a lack of finances and to begin to think of solutions to everyday issues they may face so that they will be equipped to face challenges
