According to the lateSouth Africa President Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. It is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace.”
The above quote must have prompted Chief (Mrs.) Funmi Lawson to establish TennyTan Group of Schools some years back.
Apart from detailed professionalism which is their watch word, what stands TennyTan School out is their clear vision of providing a clean, conducive learning environment for the students. Their core value is to instil morals, discipline, the fear of God, acedemic exellence, honesty, humility, integrity and respect for one another.
At TennyTan School,they are exceptionally committed to providing fair and equal educationalopportunities to all children regardless of tribe, religion, nationality,gender , disability or social status. TennyTan Schools, comprise of TennyTanKindergarten (Daycare setting) for babies whose parents are at work, providing an environment where they play with educational toys as part of building the skills in them), Nursery and Primary School and TennyTan Model College, started in Ibadan in June 1st, 2014, at College Crescent area of Ibadan as KindercareInternational Kiddies Arena. But the name was changed to TennyTan, an acronym coined from the founder’s sons’ names, Teniola and Enitan, after the establishment of Abeokuta, Ogun State wing in 2016.
The school is located at 2, Olusoji Idowu Avenue, Ile-ise Awo, Abeokuta, Ogun state.
Another major selling point of the school, according to Mrs. Lawson, comes in the area of first-class facilities being put in place not only for the mental development of their students but also for intellectual, moral and physical development. When asked how she managed to establish schools without pre-knowledge of the education sector? She explained that she has all the tools to reach her target market with her educational background. According to her, she only employ professionals to teach the pupils and also get 100% support from her brother who is an Educationist.
“It is our aim to provide a balanced approach to learning while giving you the peace of mind that your child will have fun as he/she develops physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. Our students will get the tools to become confident and self reliant . We have excellent , qualified and passionate team of teachers that would give every child endless opportunity to grow and learn in a caring atmosphere. We teach life skills that are beyond writing, maths and reading. Aspart of life skills teaching, playing with educational toys helps to develop motor skills and children learn the act of sharing as they pass the toys among themselves. Children learn various songs while doing role plays of housecleaning and self-hygiene. Our mission is to provide excellent care to our children and ensure their health and safety while in our care. To provide fun and loving atmosphere where they can learn and grow.
Our facilities include school buses for easy transportation of our students to and from school with well-trained drivers with valid driver’s license and they are subjected to further training for the purpose of carefully handling the children and for careful and mindful driving.
