“The programme is developed to ensure early childhood care and education that is truly inclusive. It is much more than just preparation for Grade 1, Early Childhood Development is the foundation for emotional well-being and learning throughout life, and is one of the best investments a country can make as it promotes holistic development, gender equality and social cohesion.”
