THE CHILDREN'S DAYCARE ASSOCIATION OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGOAbout Us
The Children’s Daycare Association of Trinidad and Tobago is a non-profit organization founded by Mrs. Brathwaite in 2023.
As a daycare owner (Blue Sky Academia), she observed daycares in Trinidad and Tobago had very limited rules and instructions to follow for child care. There were no regulations in Trinidad and Tobago, which often meant standards for child care were dropped.
She joined forces with fellow female daycare owners, Mrs. Adonna Hughes (Gentle Scholars Academy), and Ms. Chantel Mayers (Early Steppers Academy) to form the association.
They all recognized the dire need to offer parents and families a safe place and quality service to locate daycares and babysitters in their area.
OUR MISSION
The Children’s Daycare of Trinidad and Tobago is committed to providing leadership support to daycare centers across the country while promoting the highest standards of childcare by promoting professional development, fostering best practices, and advocating for policies that prioritize the needs of children, their families and childcare providers. We strive to empower members with the resources, training, and networks to deliver comprehensive and age-appropriate programs.
