Service Learning Project

During the Study Abroad program I will be working in the Legos Day Care in Wynberg, Cape Town and will be doing a Service Learning Project in the childcare center.  Some background on the childcare program in the governmental website is described as "Early Childhood development, for the purposes of this Act, means the process of emotional, cognitive, sensory, spiritual, moral, physical, social and communication development of children from birth to school-going age." 

I want to share a website that I found with information about the logistics of early childhood centers in South Africa. http://wp.wpi.edu/capetown/projects/p2013/early-childhood-development-connection/knowledge-worth-sharing/registering-requirements/ this information can be helpful and useful for my team because it talks about the staffing requirements. A main part of our project will be working with the staff and doing workshops for them. This can be helpful in order for us to know more about the staff's role in the daycare.

I was able to find the Facebook for the Legos Daycare group, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004548017923&fref=ts

    Really great info on the requirements of early childhood centers in South Africa. I think it's important for us to know what is required of the program legally and the regulations that go along with that before we go. Also, it's interesting to see how those regulations compare to some here in the States.
