ABSTRACT Early childhood development education is the basic foundation of the child.

After the findings the researcher was able to come up with the possible solutions to those effects. The education stake holders may use to improve the education of the child in the district, and the government also may adopt it. Regardless of the limitation of the funds, time and weather condition, the researcher successfully produced a report with real facts.
