GROW Educare Centres

Social Enterprise helping women run professional, 5-Star Early Learning Centres in developing communities. Children get quality preschool education. Women have sustainable small businesses. 5 Steps to 5-Star ECD programme We believe that ECD centres in disadvantaged communities should be able to provide children with the quality learning they need to set them up for success while also paying educators and centre owners what they are worth. That's why we are changing the status quo in the ECD sector by offering quality and professionalism that disadvantaged communities have never seen before To ensure we can scale whilst maintaining quality, we have developed a recipe (franchise operating model) which is proven to improve education and business outcomes. This has been successfully replicated to more than thirty centres in three cities in South Africa. OUR VISION: GROW is a social enterprise setting a new standard for Early Learning in developing countries that unlocks Human Potential. OUR MISSION. We achieve our vision by: • Creating an ecosystem for ECDs that ensure children receive high quality early learning. • Scaling our model using social-franchising to become an internationally recognized and trusted ECD brand. • Mentoring ECD owners to run professional, sustainable businesses. • Equipping ECD practitioners with a complete toolkit plus the recipe for success. • Developing innovative tools and solutions that supports the ecosystem. • Engaging parents and communities to advocate for quality early learning
