The ‘Thrive by Five Index’ assessed South African children between 4 & 5 year:
The index stated that assessed learning tasks fall into five groups:
- Gross motor skills
- Fine motor skills
- Early literacy
- Early mathematics
- Executive functioning (the child’s ability to solve problems and pay attention)
%

We want to help grow a brighter tomorrow for these children.
