A New Chapter for Early Childhood Education in Soufriere

Yesterday, Tuesday, August 11, 2026, marked a special occasion for the community of Soufriere as the Dominique Marchand Pre-School was officially handed over to the Ministry of Education.

Located in Brooklyn, Soufriere, the new preschool provides a welcoming and permanent space for our youngest learners and represents an important investment in early childhood education in Dominica.

For years, children in the community were accommodated in temporary facilities following the devastation of Hurricane Maria. Today, we celebrate the opening of a permanent space designed to provide our children with a more suitable environment in which to learn, play, grow, and thrive.

The Ministry of Education extends sincere appreciation to Jungle Bay Dominica, its proprietor Mr. Sam Raphael, their guests, staff, and everyone who contributed to bringing this project to fruition. A special expression of gratitude is also extended to the Redekop Family Endowment for its significant financial contribution to this important project. Their generous support has helped make this new space for our youngest learners a reality. This facility represents what can be achieved when the public and private sectors, along with generous partners, come together in support of our children and communities.

As we share these moments from yesterday's handover ceremony, we celebrate not just a new building, but a new beginning for the children of Soufriere.

Every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place to begin their educational journey.

The desire to learn, to be heard, to have opportunities, to build meaningful lives and to contribute to a better future unites young people everywhere.

Today, we celebrate the unique experiences and perspectives of Dominica's youth while recognizing the aspirations they share. May you continue to use your voices, embrace your differences, support one another, and work together to shape the future you envision for yourselves, your communities, and Dominica🇩🇲.

Different contexts. Different journeys. Common aspirations. One shared future.

Every child deserves a classroom where they feel seen, heard, and safe. Every teacher deserves the tools to make that possible.

Teachers participating in the 2026 Dominica Association of Teachers (DAT) Summer Institute strengthened their skills in Empathy in the Classroom and Bullying Prevention through two interactive professional development sessions facilitated by Gezel Mondesire-Charles, Country Programme Coordinator for the Full Potential: Gender Equity, Inclusion and Innovation Project.

The sessions equipped educators with practical strategies to foster empathy, build positive relationships, recognise and respond to bullying behaviours, and create safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments where every student feels respected, valued and empowered to succeed.

As schools continue to prioritise student well-being alongside academic achievement, strengthening teachers' capacity in empathy and bullying prevention remains essential to nurturing positive school cultures and ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.
