Abstract
This pilot study explores through participative methods the implicit models, situated understandings and processes of early childhood care and education in South Africa in the context of poverty. The intention is to expose and reconcile potential tensions between 'official' Western and classed child-rearing practices and indigenous beliefs and realities of poor communities in KwaZulu-Natal.
