The Beginning
Mr. Blessed Addae Foh and wife Sylvia Appoe, being trained teachers from Abetifi Presby College of Education, observed the ordeal of parents taking little children with them to school and same as parents in other professions. They acknowledge that it is very difficult to leave young ones with other people and leave for work.
So it was a shared dream to get a warm, welcoming, neat and nice environment with loving and caring people to leave our children with. A place where children can be developed and nurtured. A place that can touch the lives of children and make great impact on them for eternity. A place where our little ones could interact freely and confidently. A place where all parents can afford. A place where children will be treated as kings and queens.
COVID-19 Beginnings
We had wanted to start the school in 2020 but for COVID-19, we couldn't yet front line workers needed to go to work and who takes care of their children? So, during the lockdown, KPS started with Richlove Adedziwa Havor, Nissi Nana Aba Foh and Nhyira Nana Yaa Foh, Christabel Otabil. Though not officially in a school setting, the impact made on them during the lockdown in our hall as the classroom geared the momentum to officially open KPS.
