Ridgeway College's ECD Centre is an early childhood development programme in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo, catering for children from Grade RRR to Grade R (ages 3–6). In these foundational years, your child's physical and emotional wellbeing comes first: our ECD Centre is a place where children feel safe, seen and ready to explore.
Through play, story, music and exploration, our youngest learners develop the social, emotional and pre-academic skills that set them up to thrive, not just in the Preparatory School, but throughout their lives.
