Practitioners/Teachers 

This guide is written for people working in the Early Childhood Development (ECD) sector and focuses on the parts of the Children’s Act that are most useful for ECD practitioners. In particular, the guide targets: the managers or supervisors of ECD centres, programmes and services; trainers providing training and capacity building to ECD practitioners; and a range of ECD service providers – including community-based ECD facilitators who do home visits. The Children’s Act Guide for Early Childhood Development Practitioners aims to equip this group of service providers with the necessary knowledge and understanding of how to interpret and apply the new law when delivering services to young children. The guide covers areas such as how ECD is defined in the Children’s Act; registration of ECD programmes and ECD centres; staffing requirements and staff training; and government sources of funding for ECD, amongst others.
