The issues raised were availability of physical facilities, Gender parity in the game, inadequate learning and play equipment, feeding programmes in the centers and school fees cost.

The key informants were pre-school proprietors, educational officers, quality assurance and standards officers (school inspectors) and DICECE trainers. It was discovered that pre-schools that offer conducive learning environment for children, opportunities for children to play, available playing materials and equipment specifically skittle game attracts more children to pre-schools .It was therefore recommended that preschool teachers use play and play materials for teaching new concepts to young children as this will improve the attendance among pre-school children. | en_US |
