Online educational and development activities for children
Many parents and other caregivers now have to take care of their young children all day at home due to the closure of ECD centres and playgroups as part of the measures that Government put in place to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus.
No one could foresee this. In the next couple of weeks, the Department of Social Development, Department of Basic Education, UNICEF and other partners will work together to provide you with basic information and tools to support your child’s early learning and development at home.
These are based on existing programmes.
