Abstract
As modern Early Childhood Development begins to gain prominence in African
communities, questions are beginning to emerge as to what sort of Early
Childhood Development is being promoted as ‘best practices’. Thus, the
discourse for and against western Early Childhood Development as opposed to
indigenous Early Childhood Development, and the scope of each in a culturally
‘contaminated’ African society continues to rage on. This article highlights some
of the issues and provides insights into what African Early Childhood
Development researcher can do to lead the way in owning, redefining and
rebuilding a more culturally relevant Early Childhood Development in the African
context.
