Abstract A child’s Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is fundamental to transforming their physical, mental, emotional and social skills from birth to eight years, providing the basis for continuous learning and development throughout life. ECCE is a key factor in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by promoting the holistic development of young children. NEP 2020 of India also emphasizes the aspects of health and nutrition services provided within ECCE, in terms of inclusion of children below six years of age as well as positive child outcome. The study explores ECCE’s impact on child development and global development goals, its incorporation into NEP 2020, and identifying key challenges and opportunities. Using a theoretical approach, this study investigates existing literature, expert perspectives and relevant data on Early Childhood Care and Education in India. This research seeks to answer the question of how ECCE is capable of meeting the targets in NEP 2020 alongside the sustainable development goals, in order to further enhance inclusivity, equity and quality in the educational framework for children.
