Early stimulation programmes 0-3 years 2. Pre-school / ECE programmes 3-6 years 3. Early primary education programme 6 onwards Why ECE? Researchers have shown that early eight years in any children’s life are crucial time because during this phase their brain develops at a faster rate and much of its 'wiring' is laid down. Education starts at home and extends itself to school. We also agree that the pre-primary years are the most important milestone in a child’s life long journey of learning and development. It is therefore extremely critical that this first experience in learning is enjoyable, stimulating and worth the while.
