Objective
Research objectives and content
The research project attempts to analyse the different types of Early Childhood Services operating in Greece and their impact on children's social and cognitive development. Research evidence in the area of early childhood services and children's development has shown that pre-school programmes have a positive effect on children's development under specific circumstances concerning curriculum. Staff training and staff-children ratio, educational resources, and accessibility by the participants and stakeholders (parents, community). Concerning the social role of these services in Greece (educational, psychological, provision of care) and the economic role as community's and government's investment for the promotion of citizens' well-being, the current project has the objective not only to investigate how the operation of these services comply with the established principles, but also to forward a proposal in aspiration to maximise the gains of these services for children's social and cognitive development, community's quality of life, and economic policy management.
