Background: ABCs of ECD

In preparation for this project, we completed extensive research in the field of early childhood development (ECD). In the following sections of our website, you can explore the highlights of our research on the topics of:

Sustainability, which explains the Shared Action Learning model we followed and how we ensured that our accomplishments are continued in the long-term.

Importance of ECD, which explores how South Africa has emphasised the importance of ECD, how ECD policy has changed over time, and explains the benefits of providing ECD related services.

Exploring Various Approaches to ECD, which discusses past Cape Town Project Centre (CTPC) projects and different models of providing ECD related services, and summarises the different approaches that several ECD organisations follow.
