Common Questions on Early Childhood Development.

ECD refers to the physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional growth of children from conception to age 8. These foundational years shape brain architecture, learning ability, and lifelong health.

90% of brain development happens before age 5. Early experiences determine how neural connections form – impacting future learning, behavior, and even earning potential.

Quality ECD programs yield up to 17x returns through:
✔ Reduced healthcare/education costs
✔ Stronger workforce productivity
✔ Lower crime rates

Key elements include:

  • Trained caregivers & play-based learning

  • Parent engagement

  • Health/nutrition support

  • Focus on marginalized communities
