For families in Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse 2 and Guzape. Limited Founding Families cohort — apply to join.
How this began
This didn’t start as a curriculum. It started in one home.
Our founder grew up between Nigeria, the UK and the US — reading Nigerian news online, asking her father to bring newspapers back from home, watching Yorùbá films until the discs gave out. She understood the language. She could barely speak it.
So when her own children came, she did the obvious thing and the hard thing: she found a teacher who would come to the house, and she let the language live in the rooms her children already played in. Nursery rhymes. Songs. Dance. Counting. Whole passages of scripture.
Within a year her children were singing, praying, counting, reading and speaking Yorùbá — and correcting the adults around them. Her shy three-year-old appointed herself the official corrector of Mummy’s Yorùbá.
CLC exists so your family doesn’t have to invent that from scratch.

In your living room
What your child actually does.
Not a lesson your child sits through. An hour they look forward to, twice a week, in a room they already know.
Sings
Yorùbá songs and rhymes — including the ones your own parents may have sung to you.
Plays
Games, movement, story-acting and market role-play.
Tastes and touches
Food words learned through real food, not flashcards alone.
Talks
Real conversation, with a tutor who comes to your home.
Remembers
Prayers, proverbs and family Oríkì, carried from one generation to the next.
What it opens up
Not just a language for your child. A bridge for your family.
Every few weeks your child brings home a small challenge — call a grandparent and greet them in Yorùbá, ask about a favourite childhood song, share a family Oríkì.
These moments are where the programme does its real work: not just teaching a language, but reopening a conversation between generations.
Grandparents who used to get a wave and a wriggle now get a whole conversation. That part surprises people the most.
Who is in your home
You’re not hiring a stranger off an app.
CLC recruits, trains, background-checks and continuously reviews every tutor. You contract with CLC — not with the tutor — and CLC is who you come to if anything needs to change.
Ask us about the programme and pricing on your consultation call.
We recruit and vet
Every tutor is background-checked and trained by CLC before they ever reach a family.
We train and review
Tutors are trained to teach through the performing arts, and are reviewed continuously — not once at hiring.
You deal with CLC
One point of contact for scheduling, changes and concerns. If a match is not right, we change it.
An adult is always present
A responsible adult stays at home throughout every session. CLC does not offer childcare, babysitting, or unsupervised care of any child.

The next step
A small, limited cohort — because trust doesn’t scale by accident.
We’re opening a small Founding Families cohort. Every family we take on gets a tutor we’ve trained and a programme we can stand behind, and that only works at a size we can actually hold.
The next step is a short, no-obligation conversation — not a payment. Tell us a little about your family and we will come back to you on WhatsApp.
