Early Childhood Development Education

Science shows us that the years between pre-natal and eight are the most crucial for success in school and life. The benefits of a child receiving adequate services, stimulation and love during these years cut across health, social, psychological and cognitive domains.Furthermore, putting resources into early childhood development (ECD) provides the best return on investment.
