Luvuyo Centre for Early Childhood Development and Care is proud of the currently developments it has made towards buiding its own ECD facility.
It is often the case that ECD centres are established informally within communities, but nevertheless have to meet all the relevant legislative requirements in order to operate. In a DSD presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development (12 March 2013) on the uniform norms and standards for the subsidisation of children in ECD centres, it was specified that “funding for ECD centres was only possible after compliance”2. This implies that meeting these requirements becomes “a problem for communities (rich or poor) to solve”. The effect is that while centres that do not meet the legislative requirements cannot register with DSD, they often continue to operate illegally. Under these circumstances there is obviously a lack of oversight and control, with the result that the children at such centres are not receiving the quality of ECD services they need to successfully grow and learn. The other option – no ECD service at all – is equally unpalatable.
