Educationalists unanimously agree that Early Childhood Development (ECD) plays a fundamental role in the life and development of children, with far reaching affects into adulthood.

The Play Centre was constructed between Feb-July 2009 and the Play School opened later that same year, in October 2009, with 40 vulnerable children between the ages of 3-5 registered.

Two local ladies, Helen Hancock and Linda Stone, both ECD specialists, volunteer as Managers of the Play School. Helen and Linda, together with 3 Play Therapists who they are training, have created the most inspirational space where children come and play and have fun in a safe and caring environment.
