My World Preschool is a forward thinking, developmentally appropriate early childhood education provider in Dar es Salaam. Rather than accepting traditional approaches to education focused on directed teaching and rote learning of academic content such as the alphabet and numbers, the school has committed itself to ongoing research and reflection on how children learn. This commitment is clearly evident in the school’s focus on individuality, thinking skills, understanding, engagement, and self-regulation in their children. Teachers show an ever growing understanding of how children learn and develop, and continually reflect on how their practice best support this. The school is to be commended for creating a centre of excellence in early childhood education with a commitment to child development, research and best practice.
