What We Do
Many courses run throughout the academic year from 9.30am to 3pm to suite busy families – with evening courses from 6pm to 9pm and focused workshops at weekends and over school holiday breaks.
To make learning accessible to women the centre also has an onsite crèche for children 0 to 4 to offer child care to students on its courses.
At the heart of the Silai Centre is a café offering hot meals and snacks.
