Abstract
‘This South African Child Gauge recognises that child development begins before birth, and outlines a package of essential services and support from conception to early schooling aligned with national policy and international child rights instruments. This essay responds to the following questions: Why is early childhood a critical stage? Why should ECD be prioritised in South Africa? What are ECD services? Delivery is a major challenge – where do we start? How are essential ECD services and support delivered appropriately?’ [p. 26]
