Home based ECD

The ELRU Family and Community Motivators (FCM) Programme brings quality ECD programmes directly to parents and caregivers. We empower community workers to enter households and support families towards the best Early Childhood Development in the first 1000 days, when the foundations of all learning take place

Community based ECD

The Hlumisa's Playgroup Programme empowers caregivers and communities to extend quality ECD programmes to vulnerable children who may not have access to formal ECD centre programms

Centre Based ECD

The Whole Centre Development Programme provides holistic support to community ECD centres. We help ECD practitioners to create optimal ECD environments, to deliver quality ECD programmes in clean, safe and well provisioned centres.

Open Source Portal

Our Open Source Portal makes high quality resources availble to caregivers, communities and ECD practitioners free of charge.
