Our Principal

Janice Peters-Cambridge, Principal

Mrs. Janice Peters-Cambridge brings a unique blend of educational expertise and real-world experience to her role as Founder and Principal of JIA Learning Centre, established in July 2022 in St. James.

With over 25 years in the banking sector at Royal Bank, where she advanced from Senior Human Resource Officer to Assistant Manager, Mrs. Peters-Cambridge developed strong leadership and people management skills. Her career path then led her to Arthur Lok Jack School, where she served as Events Coordinator Facilitator for two years, followed by two years as Regional Administration Manager at Regional Social Services in Sangre Grande. This latter role, which involved working closely with underserved communities, proved transformational—igniting her passion for making a meaningful difference in the lives of young children.

Determined to pursue her calling in education, Mrs. Peters-Cambridge complemented her existing qualifications from the Association of Business Executives (ABE) and her Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a Certificate in Education in Early Childcare and Education (ECCE). She gained hands-on experience as Principal of StarReachers nursery and preschool for two years before founding JIA Learning Centre.

Mrs. Peters-Cambridge’s educational philosophy centers on ensuring no child is left behind and fostering a collaborative environment where both students and teachers thrive. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and exploring diverse cultures, bringing a global perspective to her educational approach.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend JIA Learning Centre as a top preschool in the Port of Spain and environs. My son attended JIA Learning Centre for over a year after covid and I was daunted by the idea of sending him to a school that may be crowded and overwhelm him. JIA offered him the opportunity to be in an environment that allowed his creativity, social skills and academics to blossom. I have been consistently impressed by the school's commitment to providing a high-quality, nurturing environment that fosters a love of learning in young children. JIA stands out for several reasons, particularly its affordability. They understand the financial considerations of families and strive to offer accessible preschool education without compromising quality.

More importantly, Aunty Janice, Shenise and Shelly are truly exceptional. Their passion for early childhood education is evident in their daily interactions with the children. They create a warm and positive environment where each child feels valued and respected. Small class sizes allow for individual attention, ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive. The school itself is impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a safe and healthy space for children to explore and learn.

JIA goes beyond traditional academics, offering a holistic approach that incorporates social-emotional development, physical activity, and creative expression. Children are encouraged to explore their interests and express themselves freely through art, music, and play-based activities. This focus on well-rounded development creates a strong foundation for success in primary school. Children graduate from JIA with essential social skills, a love of learning, and the confidence to tackle new challenges. I am confident that JIA Learning Centre would be an excellent choice for your child.
