Abstract
This paper captures information about the cost of providing ECD for children under the age of five through different forms of centre-based provision. It also sought to identify existing and possible innovations that would contribute to cost efficiencies in the scaling up of ECD that could apply to the centre-based portion of the National Integrated Plan (NIP) goals for going to scale. This paper is a contribution to a series of studies aimed at contributing to the scaling up of early childhood development services for poor and vulnerable children under the age of five. The central objective of the series was to provide solid evidence on what might be required to rapidly scale up ECD 0-4 to an acceptable quality so as to meet service delivery objectives, in the current South African context.
