At The Strides Early Learning Center in Arusha, Tanzania, we offer more than just childcare—we provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Each of our services is designed to meet the developmental needs of children at every stage, while ensuring they are nurtured in a safe, stimulating, and loving environment.

👶 Infant Care (6 weeks – 18 months)

Our infant program is built on warmth, safety, and personalized care. We provide a nurturing environment where infants are free to explore, develop motor skills, and experience early sensory learning. Caregivers focus on building strong bonds, encouraging early communication, and supporting routines such as feeding and napping. Parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are cared for with love and attention.

🚼 Toddler Program (18 months – 3 years)

Toddlers are curious explorers, and our program channels that curiosity into meaningful learning. Through play-based activities, children develop independence, learn new words, practice problem-solving, and strengthen social interaction. With age-appropriate toys, music, art, and movement, our toddlers learn by doing—gaining confidence in themselves and the world around them.

🎨 Preschool (3 – 4 years)

Our preschool program introduces children to structured learning in a fun and interactive way. We blend academics with creativity, focusing on early literacy, numeracy, science exploration, and art. Children also learn important life skills such as teamwork, sharing, and communication. With a supportive environment, preschoolers grow into confident learners, eager to take on new challenges.

🎓 Pre-Kindergarten (4 – 5 years)

Designed to prepare children for primary school, our pre-kindergarten program emphasizes school readiness. We develop critical thinking, early reading and writing, problem-solving, and math concepts, while also focusing on emotional resilience and leadership skills. By graduation, children are not only academically prepared but also confident, independent, and ready to thrive in a formal school setting.

🏃 After-School & Enrichment Programs

For school-aged children, we provide a safe and supportive after-school space. Our enrichment program includes homework support, creative projects, and engaging activities such as music, sports, and science experiments. This service ensures children continue learning and growing even beyond the classroom, while parents have peace of mind knowing their children are cared for until pickup.

🍎 Healthy Meals & Snacks

We believe that good nutrition fuels learning. That’s why we provide balanced, wholesome meals and snacks every day. Our menu is carefully planned to ensure children receive the right nutrients for growth and development, with fresh fruits, vegetables, and child-friendly meals that keep them energized and focused.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Support & Engagement

At Strides, we see families as partners in learning. We offer workshops, regular progress updates, and parent-teacher meetings to keep families involved in their child’s growth. Parents are encouraged to participate in school events, cultural activities, and community-building initiatives, strengthening the bond between home and school.

🎭 Creative Arts & Music

Creativity is at the heart of childhood, and our arts program allows children to explore their imagination through drawing, painting, dance, music, and drama. These activities not only develop self-expression and confidence but also support fine motor skills, coordination, and emotional development. Every child is given the chance to shine through creativity.

🌿 Outdoor Play & Physical Development

Our outdoor facilities provide children with safe spaces to run, climb, and play. Physical development is encouraged through games, structured exercise, and free play. These activities improve motor skills, build strength, and promote teamwork—all while instilling the importance of healthy living and active lifestyles.

📚 Library & Early Literacy Program

To foster a lifelong love of reading, we offer a library filled with age-appropriate books and storytelling sessions. Children engage in guided reading and listening activities that strengthen language, comprehension, and imagination. Early literacy is a key part of our foundation, helping children become confident communicators.

💻 Technology for Young Learners

In a world shaped by technology, we introduce children to safe, age-appropriate digital tools. Through guided activities, they learn basic computer skills, problem-solving, and creativity using technology—preparing them for the digital age while ensuring balance with hands-on and outdoor play.

🚌 Transport Services

We understand the importance of convenience for families. Our safe and reliable transportation service ensures that children are picked up and dropped off on time, making daily routines easier and stress-free for parents.

🌍 Cultural Awareness & Language Development

We embrace diversity by celebrating different cultures, traditions, and languages. Children are introduced to multiple languages, including English and Kiswahili, and exposed to cultural activities that broaden their understanding of the world. This builds respect, empathy, and global awareness from an early age.

✨ At The Strides Early Learning Center, our services are more than just programs—they are opportunities for children to explore, grow, and make meaningful strides in every area of life.
