Make ECD Fit Into Life

Author(s):
Shreya Bhardwaj, Dost Education

In this masterclass, Shreya Bhardwaj, Education Lead at Dost Education, explores how early childhood development can be designed to fit within the realities of family life rather than added on top of it. Drawing from four provocations, the session looks at how everyday routines, relationships and objects can become opportunities for Talk, Care and Play, while questioning assumptions about caregivers, parenting and fathers' roles.
