Early childhood education is one of the most effective, long term strategies for reducing poverty because it results in better school performance, which leads to improved levels of employment. This review presents a set of indicators to support the intersectoral planning, delivery, and monitoring of the essential components of South Africa’s package of early childhood development services. These essential services include maternal and child primary health interventions, nutritional support, support for primary caregivers, social services, and stimulation for early learning.
