EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

The College is involved in the establishment, training, equipping and support of some 52 ECD sites throughout the Midlands of KZN. Our facilitators train the practitioners and the governing bodies, we raise funds for and purchase the pre-school equipment and visit the sites on regular back-up visits.

The College also runs a “traveling” toy library which gives under-resourced ECD sites the opportunity to borrow toys for their ECD sites.

We offer the following accredited ECD course:

Further Education and Training Certificate in ECD, Level 4, ID 58761
This is a one-year part-time qualification facilitated and assessed by qualified Midlands Community College facilitators and assessors.

We offer the following non-credit bearing short courses in ECD:

• Caring for babies and toddlers in an ECD setting (5 days)
