Abstract
Early and appropriate provisioning and interventions for children at risk can reverse the effects of deprivation and make it possible for children to grow and develop to their full potential, thus reducing the need for costly remedial interventions to address developmental lag and social problems later in life. Therefore, in order to overcome poverty and inequality in the most effective way, South Africa needs a much greater investment at the level that produces the greatest social and economic return: early childhood development.
