Abstract
This paper provides an annotated overview of policy progression in South Africa between 1994 and 2011, documenting key policy developments that have shaped the Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) environment for infants and young children in South Africa. ECD refers to a broad perspective across the full range of social, economic, environmental and cultural influences on children from conception to the foundation phase of school. ECCE refers to a range of activities to promote the development of young children, particularly with respect to the social, emotional, cognitive and language capacities needed to make the transition to formal schooling.
