Abstract Parental involvement plays a critical role in enhancing early childhood education outcomes. This study explores the impact of parental involvement on learner participation in Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) centers in Ghana, focusing on prompt fee payment, provision of learning materials, participation during open days, and parental facilitation of homework. A quantitative research approach was adopted, utilizing purposive and simple random sampling to select 100 respondents through structured and semi-structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The findings indicate that timely fee payments and the provision of learning materials significantly enhance teacher effectiveness, improve school attendance, and contribute to better academic performance. Additionally, parental involvement in homework through reward systems was found to motivate learners, fostering positive learning behaviors. The study recommends that schools develop effective policies to encourage parental participation and adopt behavioral approaches to engage parents in various school-related activities, including homework assistance and open days. These strategies are essential for promoting holistic early childhood education outcomes in Ghana.
