Abstract
This study is part of a much larger policy research programme on Scaling up Early Childhood Development (ECD) service delivery aimed at improving the evidence base supporting government’s implementation of its vision for scaling up quality ECD for children 0 – 4 years as well as expanding employment opportunities in the ECD sector as outlined in the National Integrated Plan for Early Childhood Development in South Africa, 2005 - 2010 (NIP). According to the NIP, the majority of ECD services for children aged 0-4 is meant to be delivered through home- and community-based services and there is a critical need to scale up provision of such services. The development of a subsidy model is aimed at contributing to the development of funding norms and standards for home and community-based ECD services.
