Abstract
The growing political commitment to the 'massification' of ECD services has been demonstrated by increased budgetary provision and its inclusion in high-profile programmes like the Expended Public Works Programme (EPWP), and as a current APEX priority, which was announced by the President in his State of the Nation address in February 2008. This chapter outlines the government's vision in early childhood development provisioning for children aged 0-6 years, as expressed in key legislation, policy and programmes: it examines progress in service delivery and reflects on what further is required to strengthen this foundation.
