In the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, our dedicated Toy Library Team is profoundly impacting young learners’ lives. One of our shining stars is a learner from Bazaneni Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre, whose transformation is nothing short of inspiring.

When this young learner first arrived at the ECD centre, she was a shy and reserved child, hesitant to engage in any play activities and reluctant to play with her peers. Her fine motor skills were underdeveloped, presenting an additional challenge.

However, the introduction of educational toys and learning resources from our Toy Library changed everything. Through a wide array of toys, this child discovered a newfound joy in play. Her favorite activity quickly became engaging in construction play, a type of play that not only fueled her imagination but also worked wonders for her fine motor skills.

Our dedicated toy librarians played a pivotal role in her transformation. They recognised the potential in her and consistently encouraged her to explore toys that would further develop her fine motor skills. With patience and nurturing support, this young learner blossomed.

Today, she is a vibrant and lively child, brimming with enthusiasm for play and eager to interact with her peers. Her newfound confidence radiates as she actively participates in activities and is always willing to lend a helping hand to others.

This heartwarming story is a testament to the power of education and the impact our KwaZulu-Natal Toy Library Team is making. Through the provision of educational resources and a nurturing environment, we are igniting the potential of every child we serve.
