EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT (ECED)
From birth to school going age, so 0-3 is categorised as Early years. These prime between years are the most important years in a child’s life as the neurological links are developed. The physical, psychological, cognitive and social development that a child experiences between birth and school-going age are foundation to a substantial future as an adult.
“I have no problem at all remembering my initial meetings 25 years ago here in Mombassa with the Ummah leadership – with leaders of the Aga Khan Foundation, and with others of you who shared what was then an innovative insight. You shared a conviction that the way in which children are educated in their earliest years is a key which can unlock the doors of opportunity for the rest of their lives”. Mombasa, Kenya (14 August 2007)
