Cotlands

Cotlands is a registered non-profit organisation that focuses on early childhood development with a rich heritage of 89 years of experience in serving young, vulnerable children.  Cotlands' vision is to see children thrive in their formative years by increasing their access to play-based early learning opportunities. Cotlands provides cost-effective and impactful Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Hubs that integrate centre-based early learning, a learning-materials library, accredited and non-accredited training, and caregiver-baby playgroups.

In 2019, Cotlands developed an e-learning platform called CotlandsIgnite® to build skilled capacity in the ECD sector by offering accredited online ECD courses to learners.  Launching the e-learning platform was a major step towards filling the skills gap in the ECD sector. The organisation also offers workshops to parents, enabling them to conduct play-based learning and best practice principles in their home environments.
