Toy Libraries
A toy library is a high impact programme that provides a framework for play and play-based learning, as well as training on how to use games, toys and play sessions to encourage child development, using a collection of cost effective play and educational materials to encourage child development.
All ECD practitioners, especially those working in marginalized and underprivileged communities should be equipped with knowledge of how the toy library concept works to implement play-based early learning programmes. The toy library uses a theme kit that provides a learning strategy consisting of toys, games, books and many other resources. This programme focuses on providing training and resources to families, early learning facilitators (elfs), children and organizations working with children, to achieve their holistic development. Playful parenting is among programmes offered to improve parenting skills.
