Siyabonana: we all see each other
Building better childhoods in South Africa
Early childhood experiences in South Africa are very different from the UK, but this vivid snapshot of early childhood development services holds useful lessons for practitioners and policy makers here.

The authors’ personal and heartfelt observations are presented within the context of South Africa’s complex national landscape - a country that is striving to repair the damage of apartheid and address severe problems of child poverty.
This is a book for practitioners and policy makers who understand that sharing ideas and experience at international level can inspire change and innovation.

Areas of focus include:
  • community, self-reliance and sustainability
  • the business ethic and privatisation of early childhood services
  • culture, curriculum and behaviour
  • attitudes to health, safety and risk
  • the coordination and regulation of early childhood services
