Preschools in South Africa play a very important role in the future development of the children as they prepare them for further studies. The Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme of the country, which is meant for providing opportunities for fuller development of the child, is implemented mainly through these preschools in South Africa.

Theses pre-primary schools in South Africa may be in both the public sector and the private sector. The public pre-primary schools in South Africa are funded by the provincial governments. The independent or private pre-primary schools are run by communities or some other private bodies. As a result of the efforts of the government 500,000 learners were enrolled in the Reception year programme of the pre-primary level during in the year 2005 and the government is targeting to enroll all the children by the year 2010 (From-Country Profile Commissioned for the EFA global monitoring Report 2007, Strong Foundations: Early Childhood care and education).
Preschool education in South Africa can extend up to four years from the age of 3 as compulsory education in the country starts from the age of 7. It mainly has two components- pre grade R and Grade R programmes. Pre Grade R programmes are meant for children between 0-4 years of age and Grade R (Reception Year) programmes are meant for 5-6 year-old children. But the early childcare development programme also consists of the foundation programme up to grade III. The pre- primary schools in South Africa provide lessons on language, mathematics, life skills, technology, arts and culture.
On this page, we are providing a list of all the preschools in South Africa that are offering pre primary education in the country. It would include the names and addresses of both the public pre-primary schools and private preschools of South Africa. So far as we are concerned, the information provided here are correct and up to date. But if you come across any discrepancy, please do inform us about it. We would appreciate any such initiative that would improve the quality of the site.
