Welcome to our ECD centre

Early Childhood Development (ECD) can be defined as the physical, cognitive and social development that a child experiences prior to reaching his/her preparatory school entering age. ECD therefore lays the groundwork for successful learning supporting the child to progress into, and adapt to, formal schooling.

Our approach is one of recognising the inherent holistic nature of the child, thus seeking to develop all aspects of every child: social, emotional, intellectual and physical potential. This is implemented through active participation in a structured programme.

  • Learners have the opportunity to take part in Tumbling Tigers. These 30-minute sessions are carried out by fun, enthusiastic, and highly-qualified coaches. The programme concentrates on gross motor development and specific body parts to ensure each child receives a full-body specialised workout. Tumbling Tigerz lessons help children build confidence, learn good manners, improve listening skills as well as teaching them many more important life skills. By using a wide range of exercises, activities and equipment Tigerz will bring you child one step closer to complete physical literacy. This programme is available to our ECD learners at an additional cost.
