Early Childhood Development

Early Childhood Development
Early-childhood care and development is often misinterpreted to refer to an academically-oriented preschool programme – this is, in fact, early childhood education (ECE). Early-childhood development (ECD) includes a range of services that promote those conditions of care, socialisation and education in the home or community that enhance a young child’s total development. ECD programmes can take place in a variety of settings: for example, school sites, a family homes or churches; or, through the mass media, home situations or even informal gatherings.

 

The support for this sector offered by the Anglo American Chairman’s Fund aims to improve the quality of ECD and empower women that are ECD practitioners, through enriched training and the enhancing of links with government and society.

 

Please note that De Beers supports ECD projects primarily in communities surrounding its operations, namely in the municipalities of Siyanda, Ga-Segonyana, Taung, Frances Baard, Letsemeng, Nama Khoi, Kamiesberg and Richtersveld (Northern Cape), and Musina and Blouberg (Limpopo).

 

The FNB Fund ECD Programme invests in training and resources for educators and practitioners, site-specific ECD, capacity building and mentorship for emerging organisations, funding for high-risk organisations and knowledge sharing.
