Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Louis I salute you. I am empowered by the presentation. Never a dull moment even though the weather was hot. I've already implemented the programme with my learners.
