The Full Story
About
Rooted in the vibrant culture and community of Tanzania, our learning environment reflects the richness of African heritage while also embracing global perspectives. Children grow and thrive in a space that celebrates local traditions, encourages global awareness, and nurtures a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
The Little Nest was established in 2016 with the belief that every child deserves access to high-quality early education at an affordable cost. Our vision is to create an inclusive and inspiring setting where children are seen, heard, and valued for who they are.
We combine the child-led, exploratory approach of Reggio Emilia with the structure and developmental guidance of the Early Years British Curriculum. This integrated framework allows us to support each child’s individual growth—intellectually, socially, and emotionally—through purposeful play, inquiry, creativity, and meaningful relationships.
Designed with the Tanzanian environment in mind, our spaces and practices honour both African culture and international educational values. At The Little Nest, we are committed to building confident, compassionate learners who are deeply connected to their roots and open to the world.
Mission
To nurture confident, curious, and compassionate children by offering meaningful early learning experiences rooted in African identity and enriched by global ideas.
Vision
To be an all-inclusive early learning community where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. We envision a nurturing environment that celebrates the richness of African culture while embracing global perspectives—where children of all backgrounds grow through play, creativity, and discovery.
Rooted in Tanzanian identity and inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and the Early Years British Curriculum, our vision is to guide each child to become a confident, compassionate, and capable learner, prepared for a bright future in an interconnected world.
