 Getty Childhood Academy (Greater Accra) The Childhood Academy was founded by an inspiring Ghanaian woman, Candida Gertrude Gator Agbovi and the husband John Agbovi in September 2007 in the Ga West Municipality of Greater Accra. It began with just four pupils and a staff of two. by August 2010 there were 160 pupils, aged between one and eight years old, and four staff. The main occupation in the local community is farming and until the centre was founded there was nowhere for parents to leave their children safely whilst they worked on their lands. This led Gertrude to set up the centre at her house, something for which the local community is incredibly grateful.
