Our three pre-schools, Masi Educare, Chasmay Educare and Sunnydale Educare, care for over 300 children from the Masi community, providing them with quality, affordable early childhood education, from ages 18 months to 6 years of age. Our teachers (all members of the Masi community) are all provided with the necessary early childhood development certification needed to look after the children in their care. Children at these centres receive 2 cooked meals per day, as well as fruit. They also receive termly assessments ensuring that they are progressing, or to identify learning challenges. We aim for each child to leave our care with a firm foundation for future learning.

The project aims to reach many of the informal crèches in Masiphumelele and provide these children with art therapy, crafts, singing, dancing and other educational activities. This is done in an effort to upskill the carers/crèche owners who often do not have the skills to provide the children in their care with, engaging and stimulating educational activities. Carers attend regular sessions along with the children and are also provided with educational equipment and stationery which can be used at their crèche.
