About applying for an early childhood development (ECD) programme certificate
Do you run an early childhood development (ECD) facility and want to provide learning and

including children with a disability, chronic illness and other special needs?
You can apply for an ECD programme certificate at your nearest Department of Social
Development or municipal office.
