This study (in French) provides insight into the skills and development of young children in three groups in Sikasso, Mali: a group without access to any early childhood intervention, a group with access to public Early Childhood Development Centers (CDPE) and a group representing beneficiaries of the intervention "Promotion of early childhood and preschool education at home in Sikasso", who benefited from non-formal early childhood education activities in their homes.
The findings demonstrate that attendance at early childhood education, whether in formal CDPEs or in non-formal settings at home has a positive impact on development outcomes.
