Free ECD Mobile App for any early learning centre in South Africa
Finally! A one-stop-shop for ECD Centres.
For owners and principals: The Giraffe App
Running an ECD centre is about more than just teaching—it’s about managing a thriving small business. The Grow ECD Giraffe app for centre owners and principals helps you manage your entire preschool from just one device.
We designed this app for our Grow ECD programme centres across the country and when many other preschools asked if they could use it too, we decided to make it available at no cost. It’s our gift to you.
