Happy Students, Happy Teachers, Happy Parents
This simple yet profound ethos makes Abuja Prep a truly special place. We aim for
our children to arrive at school with a smile, eager to embark on a day filled with fun

and learning. A key element in achieving this is our strong partnership with you, our
parents. When you feel confident dropping your children off, knowing they will be
cared for, nurtured, and have a wonderful day, your children pick up on that positivity

and excitement.

When children get it right, we praise them; when they make mistakes, they are
guided and given opportunities to improve. We believe learning good behaviour is

like learning any other subject, such as Maths or Music. We don’t expect children
to arrive at school knowing exactly how to behave – we teach and nurture this skill
like any other.

To ensure this, we maintain an open-door policy. If you have concerns or worries,
please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher through the Class Dojo or You, as parents, play a vital role in this process. By setting clear expectations, mod-
schedule a meeting. Promptly addressing concerns helps create a calm and supportive elling the behaviours you want to see, and praising your child when they get it
