Devio Early Childhood Institute

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) is crucial for the holistic development of a child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs, forming a solid foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. Despite its importance, there is a significant global deficit in inclusive early education. In Africa, particularly in countries like Ghana and Kenya, there is a shortage of well-trained early childhood educators and a lack of innovative resources and support networks.

The solution entails recruiting and training early childhood educators, providing coaching services to ECE schools, and conducting advocacy and community outreach programs. The content includes engaging trainees in play and art activities, basic sign language instruction, and the use of educational technology to enhance teaching. The program aims to support both deaf and hearing children, improve communication skills, and promote inclusive education aligned with the United Nations SDG's Goal 4 for equity and accessible education for all.

- Trained over 500 early childhood educators. - Positively impacted the lives of over 5000 children. - Secured over $200,000 in funding. - Advanced inclusive education through the introduction of sign language in ECE. - Bridged educational gaps by providing innovative learning resources.
