A place where curiosity about the world is born.
Every step toward high-quality early childhood education strengthens our conviction that the first years of a child’s life are the most important investment—not only in their own future, but in the future of the entire community.
In recent days, a great source of inspiration in exploring these ideas has been our collaboration with our long-time partner, Mrs. Diane, a doctoral researcher at Liverpool John Moores University. Her unconventional approach to educational practice and the development of reading skills has opened up new perspectives for us. She reminded us of something profoundly important: education is a relationship. Education is about intergenerational dialogue and learning from one another’s experiences.
Research shows that children learn more effectively from adults with whom they have a secure bond. A warm tone of voice, attentiveness, and genuine interest are factors that activate areas of a child’s brain responsible for motivation and memory. In other words: before a child learns to read books, they must first “read” the teacher’s face and find kindness in it.

Curiosity is the most valuable skill of the future.
At the Janusz Korczak Kindergarten, we believe that early childhood is not a “waiting room” before real school. It is the foundation. It is the time when safe boundaries, a sense of emotional security, and the first social bridges to the world of others are built. A child’s brain is like a little scientist working at full speed.
The world is changing faster than ever. The jobs that today’s preschoolers will have may not even exist yet. That is why, at the heart of early education, we place not only knowledge, but curiosity.
Because a child who asks “why?” is on the best path to asking bold questions of the world in the future.
Looking at our journey at the Start From Ghana Foundation, we feel immense gratitude—for partnership, for growth, and for co-creating a place where children can grow up with a sense of safety, agency, and the joy of discovery.
