Where would you like to visit next?
Chalkwork is Abuja's play-based nursery and primary school. Every activity is designed to raise a child who can think independently, adapt confidently, and lead when there's no blueprint.
Meet Piny, Olly, Oaky and Juny, they grow alongside every Chalkwork child.
This is what an ordinary Tuesday looks like at Chalkwork.
At Chalkwork, every decision, from how your child is taught to how they are assessed, starts with one question: what does this particular child need?
Every staff member, from the gate to the classroom, knows your child by name.
The IEYC curriculum is built around how children actually think, not how adults wish they would.
Designed by a qualified nutritionist, cooked from scratch every day.
CPR-trained staff, controlled access, small classes. Every parent named safety as their top priority.
Parents describe communication breakthroughs and confidence shifts they were not expecting so quickly.
Chalkwork parents actively choose to stay, even when relocation would be easier.
"I wanted to build a school I would actually send my own child to. Every decision comes from one question: is this good enough for my own child?"
Three steps to seeing it for yourself.

All team members train in infant and child CPR and first aid, not just management.
Structured drop-off and pick-up with staff-managed security from gate to classroom.
We keep class sizes intentionally small so every child is visible, known, and attended to.
Every school in Abuja will tell you they care about your child. Here is what that actually looks like in practice.
| What matters to parents | Typical Abuja school | Chalkwork School |
|---|---|---|
| The approach to your child | Children must fit the mold of the system | Play-based learning lets children explore and become |
| How your child is seen | One of many, managed as a group | Known individually by every staff member |
| How your child learns | Sit still, absorb, repeat from age 2 | Explore, discover, build via IEYC curriculum |
| What your child eats | Packed lunch, your responsibility | Fresh meals by a nutritionist, cooked daily |
| Class sizes | Large, your child is easy to miss | Small by design, every child is visible |
| The environment | Cold, institutional, designed for control | Warm, home-like, designed for exploration |
| Progress tracking | A report card once a term | Daily updates through the Lilio app |
Chalkwork children have authored and presented their own original books at the school Authors Fair, in front of a live audience, holding a microphone, at ages 4 to 7. This is what play-based learning produces when you give children the freedom to become.
