Singakwenza Early Childhood Education NPC

We train PRACTITIONERS, PARENTS, and CARERS to provide FUN, EDUCATIONAL activities that allow young children to develop the foundational skills for LEARNING through play, SUPPORTED BY RESOURCES MADE SOLELY FROM RECYCLING.

Almost 80% of the foundation upon which all further learning is built is developed in the first four years of life. As seen in the graph, some of the sensitive periods for brain development which are critical to educational success, peak in the pre-school years, including number, language and emotional control. Stimulation during these years determines potential for holistic development, and if these sensitive periods are not maximised, it makes it much more difficult to learn these same skills at a later stage. Most of this potential is built while a child is playing and exploring. Young children need many different opportunities to create the neural pathways and connections required for further learning.
