Partnership

Good early-years education doesn’t spread on its own

We can only sit in so many classrooms. Partnership is how this work reaches schools, teachers and children we’d never otherwise get to. There are four ways to go about it.

Four ways to partner

Find the one that describes you

These work quite differently from each other, so we’ve kept them apart instead of pushing everyone through the same generic form.

Partner Schools

Nursery, primary and elementary schools

Bring our training into your own classrooms, and join a network of schools we know well enough to recommend to families without hesitating.

Start this conversation

What partnership gives you

Discounted in-house training across your early-years and elementary team
A yearly review of your learning environment, with a written action plan
A place in the school network we draw on when we advise families
First look at new training modules and assessment tools
Help getting your documentation ready for inspection

Corporate & NGO Partners

Companies, foundations and development organisations

Fund teacher-training cohorts in schools that could never pay for them. Early years is one of the few places where a fairly modest, well-aimed investment keeps compounding for decades.

Start this conversation

What partnership gives you

Sponsor a named training cohort for a school, community or local government area
Reporting with real participation and outcome data, not just a folder of photographs
Co-branded certification for every educator who finishes the programme
Impact reporting you can defend to a board
The option to focus on a particular state, community or type of school

Trainers & Consultants

Experienced educators, therapists and specialists

Join our faculty and deliver training under the D-Cubed name. We’re especially keen to hear from specialists in early literacy, early numeracy, speech and language, and inclusive practice.

Start this conversation

What partnership gives you

Deliver sessions to school teams across Nigeria, in person and virtually
Materials and facilitation guides ready to go, so you’re not building from scratch
Clear, fair pay for every session
Professional development and moderation alongside the wider faculty
A commitment that flexes around whatever else you’re doing

Referral Partners

Paediatricians, therapists, community and faith groups

You’re already meeting parents at the moment they realise something has to change. A referral partnership gives you somewhere independent to send them.

Start this conversation

What partnership gives you

A named contact for quick, direct referrals
Priority scheduling for the families you send us
Written feedback on the cases you refer, where the family agrees to it
Joint parent-education sessions and community workshops
Shared materials you can put straight into a parent’s hands

Before you ask

Partnership questions

The ones that come up in almost every first conversation.

Do partner schools pay to be recommended to families?

No. Being a partner school gets you training and review services. It doesn’t buy a recommendation. We never take payment for pointing a family towards a particular school, because the moment we did, our advice to those parents would be worthless.

What size of organisation do you work with?

Everything from a single-stream nursery to multi-campus school groups, and from small local foundations to multinational CSR programmes. The shape of the partnership changes with the scale. The standards don’t.

How quickly can a partnership start?

After the first conversation we’ll usually have a written proposal with you inside a week. Training can normally be scheduled from the following month, depending on where you are in the academic calendar.
