The following objectives guided the study; to assess the quality of teachers and how they interact with their pupils and to assess the curriculum activities; methods and instructional strategies that had been adopted in early childhood education centers. The instrument used was a questionnaire and 30 teachers were the respondents to the instruments.

However most of the required facilities were present in the centers and this was a factor that could enhance learning.
