Thank you Guttler Voortman for facilitating the Project Lucky workshop. It focused on how practitioners can integrate the project into the ECD programme, explore social and emotional learning, and identify ways to develop these essential skills with young children at the ECD centres.

“It takes a village to raise a child.” – African proverb

This African proverb reminds us that the well-being of our children is shaped by the people, services, and systems surrounding them every day.

Protecting children means strengthening the systems that support them – from healthcare and well-being to early learning, social services, safe communities, and caregivers in the home environment.

This , we are reminded that creating better outcomes for children is a shared responsibility. Supporting innovations, partnerships, and coordinated systems that strengthen care for children and caregivers is essential to helping every child learn, develop, and thrive.

Removing barriers to compliance.

For many ECD practitioners, the path to becoming compliant has often felt too complicated, too costly, and too far out of reach. As a City, we are changing that.

ECD centres with 34 children or fewer in residential zones (R2) no longer need a land-use application, provided written neighbour consent is in place. This is about making compliance simpler, clearer, and more enabling - so that the people caring for our youngest children can focus on what matters most: creating safe, nurturing spaces where children can learn and grow.
