“For me, the Grow ECD curriculum is the best thing that has happened to my school in all the years I've been running. Before we got the Grow ECD curriculum and classroom kit, learning and teaching were very challenging. We had very little resources to support our day to day activities and learning. Now with the curriculum and learning materials our teachers are more confident in what they are doing, and our learners are having so much fun discovering and learning.”

ECD Owner and Principal, Nteseleng, from Atlehang Pre-school, Boksburg

Our programme is subsidized by Grow ECD and by our suppliers, but it’s not free. This helps us support more centres that need these resources.

The cost depends on the number of learners and the layout at your centre. The minimum cost is R40 000 for 30 children.

How can you afford it? We have a few options available and have negotiated with a financial service provider and investors to give South African ECD Centres the best possible rates on low-interest loans.
