La délégation française @education_gouv @FrenchEmbassyZA @expertisefrance au #G20SouthAfrica #Education avec notamment nos partenaires du ministère sud-africain @DBE_SA et l’association @NtataiseSA avec laquelle nous travaillons sur l’école maternelle

We are so enjoying implementing this project, funded by @FrenchEmbassyZA and supported by @DBE_SA and @Siviwe_G in the North West province. Our goal is to support #ECD practitioners in providing quality ##earlylearning programmes in their centres.

@ShelleyO317621 @JvanLogg You're very kind. We have a wonderful working relationship with @DBE_SA and look forward to strengthening it in the coming years. Much of these funds will go towards increasing access for the thousands of young children who are not attending quality #ECD sites. We support that.

@JvanLogg I hope some of it’s going to @NtataiseSA - an incredible organisation, started by Jane Evans, that’s been active in the ECD field for over 40 years.

The cost of inaction in early childhood is high. In our latest issue, a Lancet Series calls for wider investment to ensure children in the next 1000 days have access to adequate nurturing care. Find this & more: hubs.li/Q02Z8GBV0

The first 1,000 days of a child’s life are crucial – there’s growing evidence that the next 1,000 are just as important theconversation.com/the-first-1-00… 💻 Catherine Draper, @WitsUniversity #Next1000Days @ECDAction #Education

It's our final Ntataise Network Directors workshop of the year. Wonderful to connect with old friends & colleagues again & to deliberate the Ntataise Network's impact as a collective & as individual organisations. #ntataisenetwork #earlylearning #ECD

At Ntataise, we believe that investing in play means investing in the future of all #children. Visit ntataise.org for more about what we do. #playbasedlearning #ECD #Ntataise #earlyyears

Children learn as they play. Play is at the heart of #ECD. It's how young children explore the world, understand their surroundings, and build critical skills.
