Learning Roots
Learning Roots is a play-based learning approach that supports holistic development of children from age three through six. Learning Roots lays the foundation for successful transition to primary school and life-long learning. It engages caregivers so that they can provide nurturing care; works to strengthen quality of local ECD centres by training teachers and creating safe, playful learning environments; and strengthens systems to foster sustainable support for children by working with local and national networks
