True North - PRCG

Together with the preschools of Vrygrond and Overcome Heights True North have co-created and used our Pre-school Registration Colour Guide tool (PRCG) for 5 years (2015 -2019). The tool is designed to include our interpretation and lived experience of the current legislative requirements for a pre-school to become registered in South Africa.

The PRCG does not intend to be a government tool, but merely acts as a guide to support your pre-school and those trying to partner with you towards registration. Furthermore, requirements can change and some are open to interpretation or differ for specific regions or municipalities.

The tool was developed to be specific, measurable and as far as possible removed subjectivity and vague interpretations of requirements. The data we collected over the last 5 years at the pre-schools showed a strong correlation with pre-schools registration status. All pre-schools scoring between 90 and 100% are registered with the Department of Social Development.
