Cross-sector Collaboration: Education 

Play to Learn’s experience integrating education and early childhood development services.

Play to Learn created programs, materials, and resources for children up to age eight, often collaborating with ministries of education in order to scale or extend play-based educational services to marginalized populations, regardless of nationality.  

This page highlights programs that integrated ECD content or services into existing formal or non-formal educational systems, as well as resources and lessons learned from integrating ECD and education services.

Supporting young children’s healthy development requires programming across multiple technical areas, including psychosocial support, health, education, and social protection. For more highlights on cross-sector integration strategies from across the project, see here.
