KATLEHONG EARLY LEARNING RESOURCE UNIT

KELRU has been in the forefront of making sure that whoever is looking after young children must be equipped with the necessary skills of basic Early Childhood Development. If a child was not introduced to early childhood development during their early years, they tend to drop-out from formal school.

 

We need to ensure everyday that these children get the needed stimulation in order for them to have a brighter future, in turn, a healthy people. These child-minders often come from disadvantaged communities and therefore cannot afford training. That is why we need funding in order to continue offering this much needed service to our community and therefore touching and changing young children's lives once again.



For those practitioners who are competent in Level 4, an elective will be offered on Managing a Small Scale Early Childhood Development Service.
