About this area
Why this area matters
Education is where ANANDJIRA began. We believe the first years of life are decisive in shaping a child's character, intelligence and confidence.
At the "Happy and Smart Child" Community Preschool we welcome children aged 3 to 5, with qualified teachers, Portuguese and English lessons and a graduation ceremony that guarantees a place in Grade 1. We also provide after-school support and raise families' awareness of the importance of schooling.
