This study used a
phenomenological qualitative approach to explore the intricate landscape of
early childhood education in Bangladesh, focusing on the perspective of
parents. The study involves 47 people from three different cities, using
in-depth interviews to discover a diverse range of experiences. The application
of thematic analysis uncovers six fundamental themes that encompass the various
aspects of parental perspectives. The themes encompassed in this study consist
of prioritizing holistic development, cultural values and educational
aspirations, socio-economic challenges and access barriers, positive perception
of early intervention, desire for communication and collaboration with
educators, and the need to balance tradition and innovation in education.
Through an examination of these issues, the study not only sheds light on the
complex nature of parental attitudes but also offers crucial insights for the
development of policies and the creation of early childhood education Programs
in Bangladesh. The results emphasize the significance of
considering cultural, economic, and educational subtleties to develop
comprehensive and efficient solutions that align with the varied parental
perspectives throughout various regions of Bangladesh.
