Earlybird Educare provides quality where you need it most: equipping your child with the tools they need to thrive at school and beyond.
Earlybird is a social enterprise which is building a network of high-quality Early Childhood Care and Education ('educare') centres across South Africa. We use multiple delivery channels in order to be able to provide children from across the socioeconomic spectrum with access to our offering through nest centres, flock centres and Blue Door Educare Centres.
Our Educational Approach
Earlybird uses a supported play-based approach that includes a combination of (child-led) free- choice periods and (teacher-led) targeted small-group and whole-class games and activities, arranged according to fortnightly themes and three broad learning and development areas.
Our approach is grounded in social constructivist theory.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to examining new evidence and using it to identify areas we can adapt our approach to ensure we are truly preparing children for success in the 21st century.
Thus, while Earlybird's model shares the same core elements as the five well-known social-constructive preschool (Montessori, Waldorf, High/Scope, Froebel, and Reggio Emilia) approaches we have intentionally chosen not to buy-in to a single "brand", rather focusing on integrating proven drivers of quality in early childhood care and education.
