About us
Twenty years of nurturing and shaping
Founded in February 2005, Shapes and Colours Educational Centre has grown from a living-room preschool into a full campus serving children from crèche to JHS 3.
Our story
From two children to a thriving campus
Every great school has a first day. Ours had exactly two pupils, one teacher, and a living room. What it also had, and never lost, was the conviction that with the right foundation, every child excels.

Shapes and Colours Educational Centre opens in February with just two children, taught in the living room of the proprietress.
