ECDs don t have to close their doors along with schools - Necda

Early childhood development (ECD) centres will be allowed to reopen as they are not regulated by the Department of Basic Education (DBE).
Last week, the DBE announced that schools would only reopen on 15 February 2021 amid South Africa s Covid-19 second wave.
The National ECD Alliance (Necda) has confirmed that the delayed reopening of schools does not apply to ECDs, which provide early learning to children from birth to five years.
This is because the ECD sector in South Africa is regulated by the Department of Social Development (DSD).
