A call to invest in our children’s well-being and potential

“On this special occasion of Children’s Day, I extend warm greetings to all children across Seychelles. Today, we celebrate their innocence, potential, and the limitless promise they hold for the future of our nation. As the chairman of the Institute for Early Childhood Development (IECD), I am reminded of the vital importance of investing in the earliest years of life – these formative moments shape not only individual futures but also the very foundation of our society.

“At the Institute, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment to grow, learn, and play. Our vision is to ensure that each child receives the best possible start in life, surrounded by caring adults who support their learning, promote good health, and nurture their inner well-being. When children are happy and healthy, they can achieve incredible things and become what they want to be in life.
