This programme was implemented with trained child and youth care workers (CYCWs) in basic ECD skills. CYCWs supported families with children under the age of 6 to do the following:

​

• Structured play with children.

• Assess children’s development and adapt toys and play opportunities during follow up sessions. Caregivers were encouraged to engage in these sessions.

• Assist children develop while doing everyday tasks which were modelled by the CYCW.

• Regular workshops were run for caregivers where issues of importance were discussed, and information exchanged. Children were engaged in group ECD activities and play groups. Caregivers were encouraged to play with children, together with CYCWs.
