All partial care facilities must comply with the prescribed norms and standards and structural safety, health and other requirements of the local municipality. Only partial care facilities that comply with these prescripts may be funded by the DoSD. A partial care facility is a facility that provides care, whether for reward or not, for more than six children on behalf of their parents or caregivers during specific hours during the day or night. Non-centrebased ECD programmes and services xl The DoSD is obliged to provide not only centrebased but also familyand community-based programmes and services for children aged 0–4.
