The SA Childcare Association launched on 31 October 2015 and has its Head Office in Pretoria.
2017 marked a very important “joining of hands” as the Managing Director of SACC appointed Leisel Petrie, Owner and Principal of Incredible Kids Daycare, also winner of Regional Business Achiever Award for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015 by the Eastern Cape Business Women’s Association, as the official Representative for the SA Childcare Association in the Eastern Cape.
SA Childcare deals with the total registration / re-registration process on behalf of nursery schools, crèches and after-school centres. We provide all documents and work through the list of requirements regarding this application. This is a comprehensive process and includes many administrative functions.
The Administration and management of this application can be a time-consuming process. As specialists in the field, it will be handled in total on your behalf. After we have dealt with and completed your application, we submit it to the Department of Social Development to ensure that the application is in order.
This inadvertently opens doors for all of our Eastern Cape Schools to officially register with the Department of Social Development, having SACC Offices now in Port Elizabeth with representation who can assist with the processes and help schools to come into alignment with the stipulations as required and set out by the Department of Social Development.
Registration / Re – Registration of Nursery Schools under the amended Children’s Act (Act 38 of 2005)
According to the Government Gazette (Vol. 538, Pretoria, April 1, 2010, No.33076) the Children’s Act (Act 38 of 2005) has been amended in such a way that all nursery schools, crèches and after-school centres have to re-register / register with the Department of Social Development of their province. This had to happen within a period of 5 years (from 01 February 2010 – 31 March 2015).
