Welcome to First Children!

First Children is a private faith-based school in Nigeria offering daycare, nursery, and primary education in a nurturing, structured environment. We provide flexible daycare options for working parents, engaging early learning programs for young children, and a strong primary curriculum that blends academics, character, and faith. Our commitment is to quality teaching, moral guidance, and open partnership with families — supported by modern systems for enrollment, communication, and fee management.

Our motto, “Arise and Shine” (Isaiah 60:1), reflects our belief that every child carries a God-given light meant to impact the world. At Graceden, we help that light grow — guiding students to arise with confidence, lead with integrity, and shine brightly in their generation.

Welcome Message from the Founder

Charles Osayi

Welcome to First Children Christian School! The school began with a simple but powerful goal — to give children a quality education that would shape not only their minds but their future. I wanted to build a place where learning and Godliness go hand in hand; where students develop a lifelong culture of success rooted in faith.

This school is more than classrooms and lessons — it’s a space to raise children who understand discipline, purpose, and compassion. My prayer is that every child who passes through First Children will grow to become a visionary leader, ready to make a difference in the world.

With Gratitude and Grace,

Charles Osayi

Founder & Head of School

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a faith-based education that transforms lives and builds character. We strive to nurture the whole child — spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally — through excellence, discipline, and compassion. At First Children, success is measured not only by grades, but by growth in wisdom and purpose. We aim to instill values that guide students long after they leave our classrooms. Above all, we want every child to understand that true success begins with Godliness.

Our Vision

Our vision is to raise visionary people who will lead with wisdom, humility, and integrity in the 21st century and beyond. We aspire to see First Children Christian School grow into a network of schools across Africa and the United Kingdom, shaping students who think critically and live with purpose. We believe education should inspire both leadership and service to others. Through our work, we hope to light a path for generations to come. First Children will stand as a place where excellence, compassion, and faith meet.
