Our History
The mustard seed that has now blossomed had its roots supplanted in the sands of time years before 1975.
My stay in Europe coincided with the rule of the then Prime Minister, Edward Heath of the Conservative Party who propelled the racist policy of ridding Britain of black Immigrants with the belief of a Better Tomorrow for the English. The slogan cut up with my husband and me and we also wished a ‘Better Tomorrow' for Nigeria back home. That was how we unconsciously adopted the Motto- ‘Educating Children for a Better Tomorrow' in Nigeria.
The mustard seed that has grown into what we now proudly call Teko School was planted many years before 1975 — quietly nurtured by faith, vision, and a longing for a better tomorrow.
After completing my education in the United Kingdom, I returned to Nigeria in 1974. I was a qualified midwife and had also obtained a Diploma from the National Nursery Examination Board (N.N.E.B.), UK.
At that time, private nursery education was still uncommon in Rivers State. Apart from one school near what is now the Government House, there were few formal early learning centres for preschoolers. I saw this need clearly — and I also had a personal reason to act.
Our older children were already in primary school, while our youngest — barely a year old — often seemed restless and in need of company. I, too, was not used to sitting idle. One day, I dusted off my Nursery Education Diploma and decided to put it to use. I reached out to a few friends and invited them to send their toddlers to join mine for playful learning at our home on No. 4 Ngumezi (now Akugbo) Street in D/Line.
With God’s help, I created a simple, joyful space where children could sing, play, and learn. Quietly and simply, Aunty Rachel’s Playgroup was born. The first teacher to join me was Mrs Shola Abolarin, and together we laid the foundation of what would become Teko School.
