Ukuba Nesibindi Educare Centre

Ukuba Nesibindi Educare Centre is situated at Warwick Junction. It was established in 2002 by the Department of Child and Youth Care and Lifeline Durban with the aim of serving the community of Warwick Junction by providing an early childhood development programme for 25 children between the ages of two and six years.

Many of the parents of the children are street vendors and it was felt that a “safe” place was needed to meet the developmental needs of young children where they could be cared for and stimulated while their parents worked. The Educare centre’s children are from diverse backgrounds including North African countries. Educare offers an early childhood development programme for these children.
