Child care & protection
A safe, caring place for children who need protection, with a stable routine and caring adults.
Early childhood development
Play, routine and stimulation for young children during the most important years of growth.
Who it supports
- Babies, toddlers and young children in our care.
What the programme does
- Offers age-appropriate play, stories, songs and outdoor time every day.
- Keeps track of developmental milestones and raises concerns with health professionals.
- Provides consistent caregivers so that young children can form secure attachments.
Why it matters
The first years of life shape how a child learns, relates to others and copes with stress. Responsive care and play during these years make a lasting difference.
Impact
Consistent care, play and stimulation help young children feel secure and reach their developmental milestones. We report on this work in our annual reports.
Programme figures will be published here once they have been verified.
