Grow ECD

Grow ECD is a non-profit social enterprise supporting Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres across South Africa. We empower ECD businesses with the skills, resources, and support needed to deliver 5-star early learning to every child. Our holistic model enables sustainable, high-quality ECD centres for all.

GROW offers a range of services, including:

• An ECD Business Accelerator,
• A free ECD management app,
• Data-free online training,
• Downloadable resources from the ECD Resource Centre,
• A play-based curriculum and classroom kit, and
• Business sustainability training and mentorship.

In a country marked by high inequality, poor education, and scarce meaningful work opportunities—especially for women—we aim to help South Africans run quality early learning centres as viable businesses.
