 The results of this study show that there has been an improvement in the overall early childhood development, ECD, status in Bangladesh over time. Factors such as early childhood education programs, family possession of children's books, mother's educational level, and wealth index have all been found to be important for improving ECD outcomes. This information can be used to inform policy decisions and target interventions to ensure that all children are able to reach their full potential.
