About Us
DIRECTOR/PROPRIETRESS OF THE SCHOOL
The visioner and founder of Topvine International School is a resourceful educationist and seasoned administrator. A believer in continuous self-improvement, she started as a Grade II Teacher, earned a National Certificate of Education (NCE), a B. Sc. Public Administration, an M. Sc. Public< Administration & Policy Analysis, and a Diploma in Montessori Early Childhood Education. She is an Internationally Certified Montessori Directress who is very passionate about building a solid education foundation for children who will become the builders of nations.
Understanding the critical importance of a child’s first plane of development, the transitory nature of the “sensitive period” and early years education, it is necessary to catch and groom them young. She opted for the Montessori Education philosophy because she is convinced and beliefs in the scientifically based education approach of Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.
Mrs. Titilayo Dara, being a mother and grandmother, understands, appreciates and empathises with the plight of working parents who need peace of mind to be maximally productive in their jobs while drawing from her wealth of experience in child management.
She is therefore committed to building a premium school raising confident, diligent, disciplined, godly and outstanding leaders. She’s determined to make Topvine International Schools become a household name and a preferred school.
