Understanding Parental Opt-Out: Determinants of Non-Enrollment in Early Childhood Education and Care in India

Author(s) Ms. Kirti Sindhu, Dr. Nippun Gupta

Abstract The bedrock of human development is laid in the initial years, that offers a crucial window of opportunity for intervention, and provides a strong foundation for academic achievements, and comprehensive development of the children. Early childhood Education and Care (ECEC) is envisioned as a comprehensive programme that holistically meets the child's needs for care, education, nutrition, and health, from a life cycle perspective. When a child misses out on early formative experiences enter primary school at a disadvantage and struggles lifelong to catch up with their peers. This study has been carried out to address the factors behind non-enrollment in ECEC which remain unexplored and needs in-depth analysis. The research primarily incorporates the cross-sectional data that has been collected from October 2024 to December 2024 through household survey by the researcher herself using direct personal interviews, structured schedules, and observation method through multistage random sampling in order to comprehend and address the research problem at hand. Exploratory factor analysis using principal component extraction and varimax rotation was performed on the questionnaire items using SPSS version 25 to address the supply-side and demand-side factors which affect the parent’s decision to opt out and not to send their children for ECEC.
