🌻Mission:
At Khala KaMwana Childcare Collective, our mission is to provide intentional, culturally-rooted, trauma-informed care that nurtures the whole child — mind, body, spirit, and heart.
We create safe, joy-filled environments where children are free to remain children, explore their curiosity, express their identity, and grow with gentleness and grace.
🎯Vision:
We envision a world where every child is raised in community, not in isolation — where care is collective, spiritual, and centered on the child's full humanity.
KMCC exists to rebuild the “village,” offering care that uplifts the soul of the child, supports the family unit, and preserves the wonder of childhood — all while preparing them to thrive into adulthood with confidence and character.
🖤Values:
1. Child-Led Care
We honour every child’s pace, voice, and inner wisdom. Children are not blank slates — they are whole people.
​
2. Cultural Grounding
We draw from diverse roots, stories, and traditions that help children feel seen, celebrated, and proud of where they come from.
​
3. Trauma-Informed Practice
We prioritize emotional safety, consistency, and gentle responses. Children deserve care that heals, not harms.
​
4. Community & Connection
We show up as caregivers, mentors, big sisters, and aunties — because childcare is not a solo act, it’s a shared responsibility.
​​
5. Faith & Spiritual Formation
Inspired by the belief that childhood is sacred, we hold space for prayer, reflection, and rituals that nurture gratitude, kindness, and peace.
Khala KaMwana Childcare Collective
Khala Kamwana - meaning 'sit, stay, remain' and 'a child' in my national tongue, Chichewa - draws on a gentle mission: to nurture the inner child.
​
As children begin to age into their teenage and adult years, their unique childlike joy, innocence and magic start to wane. At Khala Kamwana Childcare Collective (KMCC), we believe that childhood shouldn't have an expiry date. we believe in care that goes beyond supervision - your child deserves to be seen, heard, loved and held in safe, intentional spaces for their entire being. kmcc encourages children to remain children even as they age into the responsible and lovable individuals you are raising them to be. KMCC is rooted in a cultural tradition that draws on the value of having a "village" - a community to help you and your child pause, rest, learn and be nurtured together!
The khala kamwana childcare collective offers a safe, imaginative, emotionally secure and restorative space where children are free to be - and - to remain children. Here, the term "childish" is never negative. in fact, our goal it is to foster and help children and families rediscover and embrace that childlike freedom we all had when we were children.
​
We are a healing-centred, faith-rooted, children-first childcare initiative, serving families with a trauma informed, psychologically-sound, culturally conscious and developmentally supportive approach. Whether through creative play, affirming language, personalized learning tools, sensory activities and child-led exploration, our work centers children's emotional, mental, physical and spiritual-wellbeing - while also supporting the families who love them.
KMCC is a holistic health childcare collective grounded in the belief that what Jesus Christ saw in the children in Matthew 19:14 still matters today:
​
​"But He said, Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or restrain or hinder them, for of such [as these] is the kingdom of heaven composed."
​
The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like your children - innocent, gentle, kind, humble, curious, whole. The khala kamwana childcare collective exists to preserve these sacred qualities in your children - today, tomorrow and always.​​

Meet The Founder - Sangwani Kaoloka
(But you and your child may call me Sangz or SK )🌻I’m the founder of Khala KaMwana Childcare Collective (KMCC) — a faith-informed childcare service rooted in empathy, structure, and heart. My academic background is in Justice, Political Philosophy, and Law, but my calling lives at the intersection of childcare, mental health, community, and healing. KMCC was born from a deep desire to offer children the kind of support I wish I had growing up, plus the support I did have growing up. This is the kind of support that sees who they are, not just what they do. A care model that gives them emotional tools, life skills, faith-informed values, and strong foundations before life overwhelms them. And if trauma is already part of their story, we help them process and grow through it with gentleness, not shame.​Although KMCC is inspired by the teachings and compassion of Jesus, I want to be clear: I do not push religious beliefs or practices on any family or child. Faith is offered only when invited. At the core of my care is respect for your child’s background, beliefs, and comfort level. Whether you're faith-based or not, your child will always be welcomed with love, patience, and acceptance.​🧠My Approach focuses on building:
Emotional intelligence
Healthy routines
Identity and resilience
Gentle discipline through connection, not fear
A sense of safety and self-worth
​
Whether your child is navigating big feelings, neurodiversity, sensitive behaviors, or simply needs more engagement than typical babysitting provides — they will be seen, supported, and gently guided. And while our name, Khala KaMwana, means “remain a child,” this doesn’t mean stunted growth or avoiding challenges. It means preserving the best parts of childhood — joy, curiosity, softness, safety — and giving children the tools to overcome the worst. These are the tools that carry them into the teenage years and beyond with confidence, clarity, and hope. Because when a child is raised in a nurturing, values-led environment — in collaboration with a caring village — they are more likely to arrive at adulthood resilient, whole, and emotionally well.​

I’ve worked with children from various cultural, behavioral, and ability backgrounds — and I tailor care to meet each child where they are.​💛 Why KMCC Matters to MeThis is more than work — it’s a calling.I’ve lived through trauma. I’ve seen what happens when children grow up without the right support systems.But I’ve also seen what healing, faith, and intentional care can do. I’ve seen how childhood experiences shape entire lives.At KMCC, I care for children the way I believe every child should be cared for — with compassion, structure, empathy, and joy. Whether they stay for a day, a month, or a year — they will leave feeling more confident, more understood, and more whole. This is not a guarantee, but a prayer from my heart to yours.​
