Early Childhood Development Programmes/Projects

SmartStart’s vision is to give every child the power to succeed. This means ensuring that all South Africa’s children can benefit from early learning opportunities. To help this vision become reality, by 2025 they aim to reach one million 3–4-year-olds each year through the SmartStart programme. Molteno is an implementation partner for SmartStart in the Limpopo Province.

Molteno in collaboration with the Limpopo Department of Education (LDoE) and the financial assistance from Rodger Federer Foundation (RFF) has one goal of advocating and promoting quality education for every girl and a boy child in South Africa. The means to attain the intended goal is through the School Readiness Initiative Programme (SRI) which enables all children to achieve their full potential.

This is an entry-level qualification for prospective learners who want to enter the field of Education, Training and Development, specifically within the sub-field of Early Childhood Development (ECD). This Qualification will enable you to facilitate the holistic (all-round) development of young children in a manner that is sensitive to culture and individual needs (including special needs).
