Good day Mama Zaynie,I have been going tru your posts here about teaching and I must say you are doing a great job.
Please,for someone that has a first degree in a non education field,where would you say should be the starting point to venture into early childhood teaching. Is it masters ,diploma or some trainings. Kindly enlighten me on how to go about it .

There are a lot of EYFS diploma courses about.
I think one holds in Unilag.
You will need it if you want to become an EY teacher.

PGDE will help your certification too cos the axe has been chopping non certified teachers

PGCEi is their mommy but you need about 1.5 to 2m náírà to get this.

Do you need a science Tutor for your wards/kids. Call Moses on 07064218973 Or drop a mail: obasola11@gmail.com

Good morning,
My question is simple
Why dont we have ratings for primary schools in Nigeria based on performance.
I am searching for a school for my kids and i noticed anytime i ask people always just list the most expensive as the best.

Pls i need a school in yaba/surulere with core academic values and other things can follow am not keen on ballet and co to me they are secondary.

The names ve heard of are blooming greens, pampers,oakwood,womens association university of lagos ,redeemers,mbari mbayo

Pls dont say st saviors i cannot afford it.

I really want to know which one is really academically and morally sound

I wish loyola jesuit would tell us the schools in lagos and hiw their kids perform @ their enterance exam.

Bottom line help me pick a school.

PGDE is Post Graduate Diploma in Education
PGCEi is Post Graduate Certificate in Education (the i is for International)

Basically the same certificate but with different weight.

Corona (Any of them) and chrisland

Thank you,i actually attended corona pry sch but to be honest am not impressed with the kids of family friends that attend the sch,for mothers its a status symbol and most of them cant get into sec sch like loyola,olashore,day waterman,oritamefa baptist they all end up in corona where they fail ,waec pass gce cant pass jamb n end up in uk or cyprus ,the standard has dropped you pay all that and still need lesson teachers

While in corona in pry 4 i scored 480 in common enterance in pry 5 i scored 565
My sibling had 7 As in ssce but now corona is a mess,it all about cash and the closest to me is gbagada.

Well that was corona of the 80s probably but more students get into loyola from corona than any other school. Chrisland and Montesorri Int School Ph are also worth mentioning. Corona standards (including the sec school) is deft much higher than it used to be. 10 corona students had over 300 in JAMB 2 years ago. Expensive yes, but relatively good. Olashore and Day Waterman do not have competitive entrance exams like that. Any child with average learning abilities can get in. I'd say corona sec school entrance exams are way more competitive than those two

Maybe you can take a look at the catholic primary schools if you are comfortable with catholic schools discipline and no preferential treatment policy.

Are you sure it is not through the extra payments made by parents to teachers that are specialist in Loyola exams?. I heard it is very expensive to engage a Loyola Jesuit specialist teacher. I also normally see a lot of Corona in the pass list of Louisville in Ijebu itele.

I totally agree with you. I also attended Corona a while ago but i can't allow my kids to attend the school now. Even when i attended, it was already falling behind in Maths although English and Sciences were still top notch.

Not necessarily. Corona was one of the first few exam centers for Loyola exams in the 90s. They've been doing this for so long. But Corona Pry school standards are still better than most big name pry schools in Lag for sure.

No wonder. I quite agree on Corona Pry school standards still better than most big name primary schools. I normally check the pass list of the entrance exams of some of the competitive secondary schools that post the pupil schools. Corona always feature very well. My classmate daughter did not pass Loyola which was what the parents wanted but cleared Louisville, Marywood and Jesuit Memorial. So they opted for Jesuit Memorial.

I live in surulere. I would recommend oakwood. They put so much attention to thr quality of education there. My daughter use to attend oakwood, though we later moved her to corona for no particular reason except for hubby being a corona fan. I still prefer an oakwood to corona

Madam zaynie, well done. Pls can you help me with kg2 3rd term work? thanks

Mama, I don't have such schemes at hand.
Our classes have a different setting and arrangement from your regular school.

Actually, ds is doing homeschool and want to compare what his tutor has

I can't believe I actually read everything from the very first page to the last within a couple of hours.
Kudos to Zaynie for the good work. I was hooked because I have a 4-year old who is a handful, coupled with the fact that I've been school hunting for a while now and I've gotten some good pointers here on what to look out for in making a choice.
I have a question though, my son started stuttering all of a sudden when he was 3 plus, do you think the school had a part to play in it?

Hi!
Glad you had a good read.
I can proudly say he will get out of it soon as long as you make attempts to curb it.
My 2 older kids went through this. For my first, it was alarming because a couple of my husband's siblings stammer, I was scared that my son took it but by the next year he was back to normal fluent speech. Same thing with my second child.
These are the things I did.
-constantly talk to that child. Don't try to shut him up.
-teach to breath control. Take a deep breath before you talk.
-repeat the sentence. Say it once with a stutter, repeat it.
-have fun with it while it lasts. It's usually funny to the children so don't embarrass him
As long as he didn't start up stammering, it will go.

This week....
Gosh it's been hectic and fun at the same time.
We were teaching them 7 habits of happy kids and the first habit is, be proactive.
See pronunciation na . One of them said "be hombati" another one said "be pronativ"
I just gave up


Then a new boy who happens to be a super picky eater has been making lunch extra hellish for me.
Yesterday he brought noodles to school, he didn't eat it then we got him school lunch (eba and okro with chicken) which he declined and said and I quote " I want brown chicken with white rice and dodo"
Oh boy! Are you in school or do you think this is a 5 star Chinese restaurant common, eat your eba. Bobo laslas settled for noodles.
Today... another drama from our actor. We served roasted potatoes, brown beef and veggies and Uncle said and I quote "I want dictionary food"

Warrisdat?!
Fiam! I took him to the office before I decide to pinch him. His food was drowned in ketchup and he ate it all
