History
About Saint Paul Early Education, Inc.
​
​Saint Paul Early Education, Inc. was incorporated in the United States in September 2016 with a vision of serving children, families, and the broader community through high-quality early education. Founded by Dr. Shafqat Hayat and Mrs. Kanwal Shafqat Hayat, the school was established on the belief that “Education is for Everyone.”
Rooted in Christian values, Saint Paul Early Education was created with a missionary spirit, devotion to God, and a commitment to serving all communities through education. The program is inspired by a calling to educate and uplift children while honoring compassion, respect, love, care, and service. While our mission is faith-based, we warmly welcome families and children of all religions, cultures, backgrounds, and denominations.
