“…The children who have gone through HLC performed better, successfully progressed through the classes, liked schools and the different subjects more than those without any experience of pre-school. This confirms studies by Patterson et al (2017); Kwiri (2013); Burger (2010); Strickland and Riley-Ayers (2006) that ECD improves learning and achievement, even when these studies were all in formal settings. It also improves retention and the children easily adapt to school.…”

“…Many scholars agree that Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is important in improving learning and achievement in subsequent levels of education (Strickland and Riley-Ayers, 2006;Burger, 2010;Kwiri, 2013;Patterson et al, 2017). According to Kartal et al (2016) ECCE plays a vital role in eliminating or minimizing the deficiencies resulting from the socioeconomic structure of the family.…”

“…According to Kartal et al (2016) ECCE plays a vital role in eliminating or minimizing the deficiencies resulting from the socioeconomic structure of the family. For poor children who are less prepared academically due to social and economic factors (Patterson et al, 2017) ECCE reduces inequalities and positively impacts their emotions towards school, teachers and classmates. ECCE shortens the period of adapting to school and to reading-writing expectations and requirements; moreover, schooling is easier and more enjoyable for such children (Kartal et al, 2016).…”

Despite the importance of early childhood education in improving academic achievements in subsequent years and also in social development, it remains out of reach for majority of children in developing countries. This leaves informal education as the main preparation children in rural areas receive before entry into primary schools. This paper focuses on contributions of informal early childhood education to pupils learning in lower primary schools. Data was drawn from a three-year longitudinal study of children who had benefitted from the informal early childhood education provided by a nongovernmental organization (LABE), in Uganda. Findings show that attendance of informal home based learning improves pupils' performance in literacy and numeracy by primary three. Children who attend the informal early childhood education performed better than those who start school direct from home. Informal early childhood education also increases children readiness for schools and helps them cope better with school. The paper recommends adaptation of the LABE model in rural areas with inadequate formal ECCE provisions. In addition, for improved supervision, linking HLC and primary schools is critical.

“…For early childhood education, teacher quality is critically important and SL is advocated as a better way to enhance teacher quality of early childhood education (Jones, 2017;Patterson et al, 2017). Kaye (2010) stated pre-service teachers could enhance their critical thinking, problem-solving skills, leadership, community engagement, and cooperation for their future roles through SL.…”

Service learning has been stressed as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance students' professional skills and citizenship for future development. However, service-learning research concerning early childhood pre-service teacher education has been rarely done. This study explored how undergraduate students in an early childhood pre-service teacher education program experienced in seven different service learning activities and discussed the meanings of their experiences from the perspective of early childhood pre-service teacher education. Participants in the study were 99 undergraduate students of early childcare and education. Their speech reflections, SL (Service learning) reports and verbal presentations during the course and service learning were analyzed qualitatively. The study revealed participants experienced emotion processes. In addition, participants learned professional skills and formed their teacher traits. How to balance the student choice and the goals of the course from SL activity needs to be taken into account.
