Biography
After extensive experience with the challenges parents are confronted with when trying to find the most beneficial educational environment for their uniquely-abled learners, Carlyn Coetzee (a Counselling Psychologist) and Lizé Du Toit (a Counselling Psychologist with a Post Grad degree in Education – Foundation Phase), who ran a successful practice together, soon recognised the demand for an educational facility which was able to accurately identify each learner’s specific strengths and then create an individualised program based on those strengths to create a developmental environment in which the learner is equipped with the tools to achieve their utmost potential. With both a personal and professional background in learners with specific needs, Carlyn and Lize became passionate about providing such an educational facility and in January 2016 Edu-Play Early Learning Centre opened both its doors and its heart to its very first learners.
