As a Nigerian single mother navigating the UK childcare system, I faced a challenge that many African families experience: finding childcare that reflected my cultural values, language, and parenting philosophy.
I spent weeks scrolling through generic platforms that offered no way to filter by language, culture, or shared values. I interviewed dozens of childminders, many wonderful, but none who shared my background or understood the nuances of raising a child in the African diaspora.
That's when it became clear: there was a gap in the market, and more importantly, a gap in the community's access to culturally-aligned childcare. KinCare Connect exists to fill that gap.
To empower African diaspora families with culturally-matched, trustworthy childcare — and to help childminders build thriving businesses within their communities.
We build for real families, by someone who lives the reality.
Every provider is verified. Safety is non-negotiable.
Culture isn't a filter. It's the foundation.
KinCare Connect is founded and led by Lubna [Surname], an MSc holder in International Business with over 5 years of experience in school administration and community engagement in the UK. She is supported by a growing network of advisors in childcare, tech, and African diaspora communities.
