Early Learning Resource Unit Elru

ELRU is an NPO that works in the early childhood development (ECD) sector in marginalised communities of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and North West provinces. Our Programmes are home, community (non-centre) and ECD Centre based, and aim to reach young children ages 0 to 6 who do not attend a crèche, nursery school, playgroup etc, due to a lack of access or unaffordability. ELRU training and capacity building Programmes equip caregivers and ECD Practitioners with the necessary skills to address the immediate needs of young children through each age and developmental stage. By strengthening the position of adults around the child, ELRU ensures that vulnerable children have continued access to quality early learning and ECD services, essential for comprehensive growth and cognitive development as young children prepare for entry into Grade R.
