Early childhood refers to the foundational stage of child development. It is characterized by immense development in physical-motor, cognitive, language, and socio-emotional realms from a mother’s pregnancy through to the age of 3 of the child. These developmental effects last the rest of childhood, and on into adolescence and adulthood. The Early Childhood Care Development (ECCD) system is a comprehensive, integrated and multi-sectoral approach centered on providing children with nurturing care. This program facilitates access to health services from pregnancy to 35 months old to promote the physical growth and development of the child. It also includes providing responsive caregiving, opportunities for early learning, and child’s safety and security to enhance holistic development of young children.
