Early Childhood Care and Education

Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) refers to the foundation services provided to young children, typically from birth to around age eight, focusing on their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. It includes quality caregiving, learning activities, and early schooling that support children's growth, prepare them for formal education, and promote lifelong skills. ECCE emphasizes nurturing environments, trained caregivers, and age-appropriate learning experiences to ensure children develop healthily, build essential skills, and reach their full potential during these critical early years.
