This study constitutes an attempt to describe and analyse the quality of
selected early childhood development programmes in South Africa, and
provide criteria by which the quality of programmes could be assessed.
The need for, and importance of, providing quality early childhood
development programmes is highlighted. The influence of educational
pf:lilosophies on programmes is recognised, hence the total development
of the child and educational philosophies related thereto are discussed.
Factors and components within programmes that contribute to high
quality are explored. Moreover, criteria by means of which quality early
childhood development programmes may be assessed, are provided. In
this regard criteria for the formulation of aims, selection and the
organisation of content, assessment, role of the teacher and parent
involvement in programmes are suggested. It is against these criteria
that selected early childhood development programmes in South Africa
are described and analysed.
programmes conclude the study. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)
