Gugara, our skills learning room
The Gugara Room is an exciting and enriching space designed for children aged 3–4 years who are growing rapidly in confidence, imagination, and independence. At this stage, children are eager to explore new ideas, build friendships, and express themselves through more complex play.
This room offers the perfect balance of structure and discovery, helping children develop the skills they need as they move closer toward preschool and school readiness.
We provide space for 20 confident little learners in Gugara
Training and Experience
Guided by experienced educators, the Gugara room offers high-quality early learning every day. Our teachers understand how children grow and use this knowledge to plan activities that build social, emotional, and thinking skills. Learning happens through curiosity, play, and meaningful experiences.

My little 3 year old boy Dwight comes home each day telling me all about the fun he had and every little thing he learned about. When I started sending him here, I was so worried, but I realise now my boy is in safe hands!

My daughter looks forward going to gugara. She learns all about letters and numbers and then comes home telling me all about it like a little tweetie bird! She tells me about playing with her friends play equipment thats clean.
Onette, Maxie, and George are all of her kind little friends! All the kids are all so kind and polite, I truly couldn’t be more happy that I sent her here.

My 4-year old daughter has really had a lot of separation issues in the past, but thanks to the staff, she had really improved, and this has given me more time to work and relax.
