Our ECDE Comprehensive programme offering includes:
▪ Accredited and skills training with on-site support to ensure that practitioners and managers implement
what they have learnt and apply child-centred approaches to facilitate learning.
▪ Infrastructure improvement where we upgrade the existing Centres, do basic maintenance, erect or upgrade
play areas and install safety requirements around the Centres to protect the children.
▪ Supply indoor and outdoor resources to support the adequate development of cognitive, physical and social
skills in children.
▪ Establish food gardens which have become a catalyst for food security for both the Centres and communities
around the Centre locations. These food gardens have become a form of sustainability and is regarded as an
income generation tool for the Centres where funds are raised through the selling of the produce.
▪ Leadership capacity development to ensure that the Centres are effectively managed and operate as
successful social enterprises.
