Our Early Childhood Care for Development (ECCD) is with 15-20 places for children aged from 6-months-3-years old. Early Childhood Care for Development (ECCD) refers not only to what is happening within the child, but also to the care that child requires in order to thrive. For a child to develop and learn in a healthy and normal way, it is important not only to meet the basic needs for protection, food and health care, but also to meet the basic needs for interaction and stimulation, affection, security, and learning through exploration and discovery.
ECCD activities are those that support young children appropriately and seek to strengthen the environments in which they live. ECCD includes:
• working with parents to strengthen parenting skills,
• working with siblings and other family members to recognize the specific developmental needs of younger children and what they can do to support them,
• working to provide or strengthen day care options,
• developing preschools and other early childhood education programs that address the child’s needs in holistic ways,
• striving to bolster the community in its economic, physical, and moral support of families and young children.
