Management of Day-Care/Kindergarten "WFWP Day-Care Kindergarten
School" and "WFWP Elementary School"
Outline: The school was opened in the poorer section of Monrovia, the
capital of Liberia, in September 1998, with approval from the government.
Children aged 3 to 6 are accepted. They enroll in September and graduate in
July. The school teaches basic reading and writing, songs, French, and
Japanese, and provides lunch and transportation services. The elementary
school was opened in 2002. The curriculum is in accordance with the
guidelines set by the Ministry of Education, with the addition of foreign
languages, AIDS preventive education, family education, and moral education.
New Developments: The school relocated in 2005. The third and fourth grades
were added to the elementary school course in 2006. The local staff members
work together with residents who live near the school, to make funding for
the school through farming. This is used to manage the school, to provide
lunches for students, to build additional classrooms, and conduct repairs.
