The Status of Early Childhood Care and Development in Aboadze-Aboazi Township, Ghana
Abstract
This study aimed at finding out the quality of Early Childhood Care and Development in Aboadze/Abuesi Kindergarten Schools in the Shama Ahanta East Metropolis. The instruments used to collect information included questionnaires, interviews, and observation. The results revealed that about 60% of pupils of school going age were
not in school, but spent their days along the coast. This is due to poverty and ignorance,
the unavailability of facilities to promote quality childhood care, government's and
community's poor involvement in preschool education and lack of training of the
Kindergarten teachers.
Keywords: Early Childhood Care and Development, Early Childhood Care Education, Pre-School.
