From: Better Care, Better Children…

Regulus Educational Academy was founded by R. Jerriann Baker.  She observed that quality day care was lacking within Trinidad and Tobago and decided to introduce parents to a better standard of child care service that would accommodate their busy lifestyles. At Preschool we pursue learning achievements that are appropriate for young children and that provide the foundation for successful future learning experiences as Regulus would have it. Learning expectations are given for six areas of learning – Personal and Social Development, Language, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Health and Physical Activity, and The Arts . Programs based on the learning expectations have taken into consideration the widest possible range of children’s life experiences and situations. At Daycare and Preschool we believe that better care fosters better children.

To: Balanced Education for Better Minds…

Our Primary School is a continuance of the education program to the end of having a well-rounded world citizen. A student that views education as exciting and is not afraid to ask questions, discover and explore. A student who has the attention of the teacher because of the small class size, with curriculum delivered to them using technology to bring alive topics such as language, math and science.

We strive to establish partnerships with parents who want their children to be appreciative of diversity. We deploy the curriculum of the Ministry of Education of Trinidad and Tobago, and prepare our students for the SEA examination. Our classes will always be small and personal, and applications will be accepted by invitations only. Through Modern Teaching Methods, Character Building, 21st Century Skills Development and Project Based Learning approaches we believe we can provide your child with a balanced education for better minds.

Better Care, Better Children…

Building on the foundation laid at our Daycare, Regulus Preschool continues our vision of “Better Care, Better Children” by providing a seamless transition to more formalized, structured learning and development for your child.

Our Daycare and Preschool work hand-in-hand so your child can continue their learning and development while still mastering social and personal autonomy.

At Preschool we pursue learning achievements that are appropriate for young children and that provide the foundation for successful future learning experiences as Regulus would have it.

Learning expectations are given for six areas of learning – Personal and Social Development, Language, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Health and Physical Activity, and The Arts.

We encourage diversity and integration in the classroom.

 At Daycare and Preschool we believe that better care fosters better children.

Regulus Child Care Services was founded by R. Jerriann Baker fondly called "Auntie Jerri". She observed that quality day care was lacking within Trinidad and Tobago and decided to introduce parents to a better standard of child care service that would accommodate their busy lifestyles.

Regulus’s methodology is simple; to provide nurture, comfort and peace, using techniques that foster development for babies. This involves ensuring that babies are not in a disruptive or disturbing environment, so they are not prone to anxiety or emotional distress. This is done in a non rigorous, non institutionalized and fun home environment. Some of the Regulus methods for childhood development include, classical music appreciation, toys that develop social skills as well as daily communication methods with parents, child and caregiver for additional comfort and growth.

Any member of staff who works with Regulus is asked the following question: “Would you do this job for free?” This helps us recruit staff members who are not simply motivated by money, but by the joy of working with, and caring for, little ones. Caring for children’s needs often requires that you act above and beyond the call of duty, and no amount of financial compensation can substitute.

While studying at Drexel University, Philadelphia PA, Auntie Jerri had the profound privilege of being a full time nanny for three years. She has over 10 years of experience of working with children of varied ages, ethnicities and cultures. She has conducted lectures and counseling sessions with parents in Trinidad and Tobago and the United States; and, she has worked with pre-mature babies (preemies),  and toddlers with mild ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

Regulus’s mission is simple: “To raise the standard of childcare in Trinidad and Tobago”.

Our units will always be small and personal, and applications will be accepted by invitation only.

The traditional “chalk and talk” method of teaching that’s persisted for hundreds of years is now acquiring inferior results when compared with the more modern and revolutionary teaching methods that are available for use in schools today.
