About

MyECD

Features
Read full description

MyECD is the everyday app for Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and for the parents who trust them with their little ones. One app, two experiences. School staff run their centre from their phone. Parents stay close to their child's day, wherever they are. FOR SCHOOLS Run your centre without the paperwork. Keep every family in the loop, track your day-to-day operations, and get paid faster, all from one simple app your whole team can use without training. FOR PARENTS Feel connected even when you're not there. Get a real window into your child's day and handle school admin in a few taps, instead of notes in a bag or a trip to the office. BUILT FOR HOW ECD CENTRES ACTUALLY WORK No training required. MyECD uses plain, everyday language, big buttons and smart defaults so any teacher or parent can use it from day one. Works smoothly even on patchy connections, syncing the moment you're back online. Your school must already be registered with MyECD to sign in. Parents receive an invite link from their child's school to get started. MyECD: keeping ECD centres and families in step, every single day.
