Our Approach
The health, safety and well-being of the children and staff is paramount in an ECD centre. An ECD centre should be play-based and informal, where a classroom is teacher facilitated and child-led. Children need to learn through play, through repetition, through their own exploration and discovery.
DEVELOPMENTAL AREAS OF LEARNING
The ELDAs
Well-being

Make Your Own Resources
Making your own resources is not only environmentally friendly and (mostly) free, it also gives a child ownership when they have played a part in creating that poster or number line in the classroom. In our workshops and ECD centres we emphasise this approach.
