The Centre opened with 2 Nursery classes of 24 children in each.

Our teachers are Kaddy Jawara, Fatou Cham and Fatou Sanneh.  Kaddy has full Early Child Development qualifications and joined us with a wealth of experience in teaching children in this age range.

Fatou Cham transfered to Sunrise from Bakoteh Nursery.  She has completed the second year of her in-service Gambian Early Child Development training.  She will continue with more training during all school holidays until she is a fully qualified teacher.  If you would like to help sponsor Fatou Cham's training, please contact us.

Fatou Sanneh completed her education to Year 12 but for financial reasons, was unable to take the final examination.   However, she impressed the interview panel so much, that it was decided to employ her and help her to gain admission to the in-service ECD training course in order to gain qualification as a teacher.  GETS was pleased to hear that she successfully sat the entrance exam and started the ECD course in July 2011.

Mama Nabeneh, an ex-skills student at the centre, has joined the nursery staff as a teaching assistant whilst Kaddy Jawara is on maternity leave.

Salaries for all staff will be in line with Gambian government pay scales.

We wish all our staff a long and successful career at Sunrise Centre.
