At Ubuntu Junior Academy, we are dedicated to providing exceptional education and nurturing the growth of our students. We have a strategic partnership with hippo campus gGmbH, formerly known as KITA-Haar, a distinguished kindergarten in Germany. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to offering unparalleled international standards of education.
At the heart of our partnership is a shared belief that every child needs a supportive community to thrive. The guiding principle of hippo campus gGmbH encapsulates this philosophy:
“EVERY CHILD NEEDS A VILLAGE TO GROW UP.”
This principle underscores the importance of diverse support networks, including parents, siblings, grandparents, educators, and more. hippo campus gGmbH embodies this concept by providing educational and care offerings for children and their families.
The history of hippo campus gGmbH dates back to the late 1980s when Peg Schäfer and Elisabeth Kaufmann recognized the need for early childhood education in their community. Their visionary approach led to the establishment of KITA-Haar (now hippo campus gGmbH), even before specific regulations existed for such facilities. Over the years, they expanded their services and became a cornerstone of early childhood education in the region.
In 2023, Kindertagesstätte Haar gGmbH officially became hippo campus gGmbH. This name change reflects their unwavering commitment to education and learning. “hippo” represents their iconic rainbow hippopotamus logo, “campus” signifies their facilities as places of education, and “hippo campus” alludes to the brain’s learning and memory processes.
Our partnership with hippo campus gGmbH signifies an exciting chapter in the journey of Ubuntu Junior Academy. Together, we aim to provide a nurturing and enriching educational experience for our students. Our approach is rooted in the values of community, diversity, and innovation, ensuring that every child entrusted to our care receives the best possible education and support.
Join us in celebrating this partnership and the boundless opportunities it brings to our students and their families.
The school’s mission is to identify and nurture the unique talents and potential of each child from an early age, fostering passion and purpose.
