SCHOOLS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTRES IN THE VALLEY AREA
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we agree. That's why all of the schools and early childhood centres here are connected through their relationships with the project and with each other.
There are many groups and activities for families and children of all ages operating in the valley area.
