Safar's mission is to create a sharing and learning platform to equip and train educators (especially early childhood professionals and practitioners) in the areas of pedagogy as well as leadership, by providing tools and resources to make them more informed educators. The educational leader has an influential role in inspiring, motivating, affirming and also challenging or extending the practice and pedagogy of educators, which can significantly impact the important work that educators do with children and families. Hence, we also aim to create awareness on the importance of leadership that enhance quality pedagogical sector. Safar also sees the importance of partnering, engaging and fostering greater collaboration between educators, parents, youth and the Muslim community at large to empower our children to achieve their potential and dreams.
