KIDS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

KITS serve children and young people between the ages 7-16. We offer a broad range of vocational activities that engages students outside of school hours. This is an opportunity to encourage children to pursue their interests and allow hidden talent to surface. This is critical to their personal development and will on the long term, assist them in securing more lucrative employment opportunities
