Success story: Grow ECD and Breadline Africa partnership
Breadline Africa are experts in creating beautiful, functional infrastructure spaces for early learning:
Their classrooms, libraries and kitchens help ECD Centre owners increase capacity, safety and business sustainability while creating environments where children can thrive. Grow ECD and Breadline Africa work together to identify and select ideal centres that are committed to education, teacher development and professional practices. They have peace of mind knowing that centres receive continued training, coaching and support after the infrastructure handover and that children benefit from Grow ECD’s Quality Education Programme.
GROW and Love Trust partnership
Our collaboration with Love Trust will equip hundreds of ECD teachers-in-training with a professional (and free) learner assessment tool and training.
The Love Trust train accredited (NQF) Level 4 and Level 5 early childhood development teachers to teach Grade 000 and Grade R. By supplementing their knowledge and giving them access to our free learner assessment training and tools, these future teachers will have even more valuable tools in their toolbox.
