🌱 The First 1,000 Days: Building Healthy Foundations for Life! 💛
Amandla Development recently facilitated a Western Cape Government (WCG) led Early Childhood Development (ECD) training, highlighting the importance of the first 1,000 days in shaping a child’s health, growth and future.
The training emphasised essential practices every ECD practitioner should know:
🍼 Proper feeding to support healthy growth and development.
🥛 Safe breastmilk and food storage to protect children from contamination.
🧼 Correct handwashing to prevent infections and keep little ones healthy.
Small practices can make a lifelong difference! By equipping ECD practitioners with the right knowledge and skills, we help create safer, healthier environments where children can thrive.
💛 Cradle to career, every child deserves the best possible start!
