Treasured Totos KinderCare and Junior School was founded on 1 st January 2018 with a vision to provide quality education for equipping persons with globally relevant knowledge, skills and values to transform their lives. Our school admits learners of age 3 years to 12 years of all social, economic and religious backgrounds. Our fees are affordable and we subsidize even further for children proven to be coming from poor families. We are working to ensure that by the time a learner completes his/her education cycle with us, he/she should exhibit these values; God fearing ; Excellence ; Integrity ;Customer Care; Creativity ; Timeliness; Unity ; Justice among many others. With these values, we believe that our learner will be able to function as responsible and productive global citizen/ leader. We also carry out regular mentoring for our staff members to improve their capacity to fulfill the vision and improve their livelihood. Our parents also benefit from sessions we organize for them concerning child growth and development.
The activities that our learners engage in are derived from the Learning Framework for Early Childhood Development (3years to 5/6 years olds) and Ugandan Primary School Curriculum (6-12/13 year olds) both prepared by the Uganda National Curriculum Development Centre. We are aware that these are minimum standards set by our government authorities and we endeavor to enrich the content with other relevant learning activities.
Below is a summary of the learning activities at both levels:
Kindergarten (3 -5/6 year olds) ; Reading ; Numeracy ;Vocabulary ; General Knowledge ; Environmental awareness ; God’s creation ; Physical Education ; Rhymes ; Stories ; Music ; Dance , Drama ; Art; Writing.

The volunteer will work hand in hand with the full-time staff by participating in any or all of the following activities:
The Volunteer can stay at UPA Guest House, or at a selected host family. The school is approximately 2km from UPA Guesthouse.
The school shuttle will pick and drop the successful volunteer from UPA Guest house.
The project is located in a Sub-urban area where a big percentage of people can speak English well. There are some members of the community and parents who are more comfortable with speaking the local dialect- Luganda. Like most regions in Uganda, people in our community are very friendly to visitors and always interested to talk/work with people from other cultural backgrounds. Our official language of communication is English.
Uganda is a beautiful country gifted by nature. Volunteers may take time off on weekends or after the project to visit National parks (lions, elephants, giraffes, kobs, buffalos etc), go white water rafting, visit the mountain gorillas and enjoy the Ugandan sun.
