About us

Excellence in child care education

Early Learning Educational Service Centre is positioned to provide a quick solution to the shortage of qualified ECE workforce — Early Years Practitioners, Caregivers and Nannies. The Centre is skill-centric and competence-based, with a focus on practical skills rather than theory.

Established in 2014 by Professor Esther Oduolowu, a leading authority in Early Childhood Care and Education with over a decade of practice and policy development. Training runs for just six months, and could be less.
