Abstract:

Complementing the qualitative insights, a quantitative survey disseminated among a larger sample of parents aims to gauge broader sentiments regarding ECCE policy implementation. By quantifying perceptions, this phase of the study provides a structured overview of parental attitudes and allows for the identification of patterns across different demographic segments. Additionally, the survey examines the degree of parental awareness and involvement in shaping policy-related decisions, shedding light on the extent to which parents feel empowered within the preschool context. The synthesis of qualitative and quantitative findings offers a comprehensive panorama of parental perspectives on ECCE policy implementation in preschools. The study's outcomes not only contribute to academia but also hold practical implications for policymakers, educators, and parents alike. Insights gained from this research can facilitate informed adjustments in policy execution strategies, fostering an environment that aligns more closely with parental expectations and aspirations. Ultimately, this study bridges the gap between policy formulation and on-the-ground implementation, nurturing a more collaborative approach to early childhood education that values the crucial role of parental involvement
