Project overview
This project focused on training early childhood education (ECE) teachers to use inclusive practices, encourage positive behaviour, and make learning more engaging through play-based methods. The goal was to support the development of 500 children, including children with disabilities, at ten government-run early childhood centres in Greater Accra, Ghana. By enhancing teacher skills and involving parents, the project gave children the best chance to learn and thrive.
