dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the contribution of child care centers in Kathmandu valley to early childhood development. Relevant data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, observation, and discussion with over one hundred participants. A general review of pertinent literature is also included to gain perspective. A broad range of theoretical lenses were used to analyze and interpret the data including the perspectives of early childhood development, economic, cultural sociology, and psychology. Analysis of the data showed that commercial child care centers in Kathmandu are in crisis: they need to contribute more to mental and psychological development of the children. Due to economic constraints - they have inadequate materials, facilities, and number of teachers. To address these issues, the author suggests that a special authority be created immediately to monitor commercial childcare centers and create common standards for their operation. Additionally, a policy to include teachers and parents in the management of and decisions making procedures of CCCs should be implemented.en_US
