OUR HISTORY
Dayspring Kiddies School was founded in September 2017 by Mr. Adebayo Ademola and his wife, Mrs. Grace Ademola, at C14 Z7 Abayomi Street, Behind Capital Hotel, Oke-Arungbo, Osogbo. With a strong passion for quality education and child development, they established the school with just two teachers and twelve pupils. Their vision was to create a nurturing learning environment where children could receive a solid academic foundation alongside strong moral values.
Despite its humble beginnings, Dayspring Kiddies School experienced steady growth. Within a few years, the school expanded its facilities, increased its staff strength, and welcomed a growing number of pupils. The school became known for its commitment to academic excellence, innovative teaching methods, and a well-structured curriculum that catered to the holistic development of every child.
A key milestone in the academy’s journey was the introduction of modern teaching aids, phonics, coding and a conducive learning environment, ensuring that pupils receive the best education possible. The school has consistently produced outstanding pupils, excelling in academics, character, and extracurricular activities.
As Dayspring Kiddies School continues to grow, it remains committed to innovation and excellence in education. Plans for future expansion include enhanced digital learning platforms, improved facilities, and partnerships with educational organizations to further enrich the learning experience. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, the academy remains dedicated to shaping future leaders and making a lasting impact in the field of education.
A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDERS
Dayspring Kiddies School was founded by us, Adebayo Ademola and Grace Ademola, out of a shared heart to serve families and children in our community. We believed that quality education and strong moral foundations should never be out of reach, and together, we set out to build a school where that conviction could take root.
Over the years, it has been a privilege to watch our pupils grow — not just in knowledge, but in character, confidence, and faith. As husband and wife, we bring together our individual strengths and a united vision to guide this school, and it remains a labor of love we are deeply committed to.
Every day, our dedicated teachers and staff work hand in hand with parents to ensure that each child receives individual attention, a safe and loving environment, and an education that prepares them for a lifetime of success.
We invite you to be part of the Dayspring family — where learning meets purpose, and every child's dawn begins here.
With love,
Mr Adebayo Ademola & Mrs. Grace Ademola
