Abstract
This report presents the findings of an audit of the quality of ECD service provision in formal centre-based services that cater for infants and toddlers and for older children in the years before school. Included in the study are formal ECD sites that are registered with the Department; those receiving the daily subsidy for their eligible children; and those that are neither registered nor in receipt of a subsidy. Excluded are sites run by the Department of Education and Grade R classes. The objective of this study is primarily to provide a description of the quality of formal ECD provision in the Western Cape. The two central quality parameters examined are the quality of the daily programme provided in the classroom, and the quality of site management. Each is known to be crucial to the quality of service rendered to the child. There are two central questions for this research. 1. What is the level of quality in a representative sample of ECD sites in the Western Cape Province? 2. What are the determinants of ECD site quality in the Western Cape Province?
