 Aims & Objectives A child’s social and emotional functioning has a significant impact on his/her education and employment success later in life. If fostered at a young age, children are more likely to adapt into school environment, appreciate the value of education, work co-operatively, confidently, and independently and behave more appropriately.
At the BCKC the child finds an opportunity to be useful to his society through the mentoring they receive. They are also able to manage conflict, control aggression and increase their awareness of the differences among people.
We also work hand in hand with your child’s school to promote the child’s social and moral development and reduce behavior troubles in and out of the classroom.
English language plays an integral part of the child’s social life; BCKC helps your child improve his/her communication skills through its English language lessons.
Brilliant Colours Kids’ Club as the name implies, is building up a generation of youngsters that would influence their society positively.
They are also mentored through a range of programmes like mentorship, discussions, benevolence to the less privileged children, seminars, excursions, outdoor broadcasting and talent exposure.
The club aims at bringing out the potentials embedded in the child in order to make him/her an agent of change and patriotism to his society.
Some of the big programmes of the club include:
        1. Festival of Colours: (Now changed to The Brilliant Colours Festival)This is a program where the club-members come together with 700 children from all walks of life in a carnival to express themselves through the pictures that they paint.
This event takes place once every year at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
