Abstract

The main goal of Early Chilhood Education (ECE) is to ensure the optimal development of the young child. Extensive research evidence shows the positive impact of early interventions and the long-term effects of early childhood education, and indicates links between the educational and care processes on the one hand and children's development outcomes on the other. Very few studies in India have taken stock of the nature of ECE curriculum which makes the difference, but there is little evidence from India available in the literature establishing this link empirically.
