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).
