The Heideveld community has a shortage of ECD centres and many of the parents in the community can’t afford or do not appreciate the importance of early childhood development. GCU has established a small creche which is accessible and affordable. A property has been acquired and plans are at an advanced stage for the development of a multi-classroom Creche Centre and for the training of local teachers so that the facility will offer up to 200 ECD places once it is fully operational.
