Developed by an Occupational Therapist and a team of qualified Early Childhood Development educators

Please take note that attendance at an educare centre does provide a holistic approach for child development. Active participation in such programs will have many benefits for your child in the long run. Factors such as socialisation and becoming familiar with predictable daily routines, serve to benefit your child in countless ways. This tool serves to meet stimulation and specific developmental goals, however, it cannot replace the holistic approach offered by registered early childhood development centres.
