The real problem
ECD work is connected. The paperwork usually is not.
Planning, attendance, observations, permissions, safety records and reporting often live in different places. ECD Ready SA keeps the everyday workflow together so evidence captured once can be used again.
Inside the workspace
Built around what a centre actually has to do.
Daily register + monthly view
Record attendance quickly and retain a clear centre-level monthly record.
Factual evidence by ELDA
Capture what was actually observed during play, routines and planned experiences.
Evidence-bounded learner summaries
Summaries use stored observations. Missing evidence stays visible instead of being invented.
Parents, safety, medicine and staff
Keep permissions, incidents, medicine, drills and staff evidence in the same workspace.
See what is on file
Track key centre evidence and outstanding actions without implying certification.
Curriculum context
Built around South Africa's Birth-to-Four NCF.
The workspace uses the six ELDAs to support play-based planning, observation and reporting in a practical centre workflow.

Questions before you start
ECD Ready SA FAQs
Is ECD Ready SA DBE-approved?
No. It is an independent Modern Schoolhouse resource built around the official Birth-to-Four NCF and does not imply DBE endorsement.
Does it register my ECD centre?
No. It organises evidence and next actions; official registration and location-specific requirements remain with the relevant authorities.
What if there is not enough observation evidence for a report?
The gap stays visible. Missing evidence is not turned into a negative judgement or an invented developmental statement.
What does access cost?
Release-candidate access is free through 31 December 2026. Continued access is R50 per authorised user per month or R600 per authorised user per year.
