We create quality fun resources for early childhood development


Early Childhood Development (ECD) is the first and most important years of a lifetime. Our mission is to ​enhance and promote ECD, create a community of “good practice”, and improve the overall quality of ​interaction between the adult (practitioner/caregiver/parent) and child. Isithombo developed tools to ​support educators and enhance the overall teaching experience.
