| Outline of Research at the Start |
A supportive home learning environment (HLE) is critical to stimulating early childhood development outcomes. This research addresses gender, rural-urban, and socio-economic status inequality in HLE and how HLE influences preschoolers’ holistic development in Bangladesh.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the relationship between home learning environment (HLE) and preschoolers’ holistic development and the domain-specific development outcomes in literacy-numeracy and social emotion in Bangladesh, across gender, early childhood education (ECE) enrollment, and socio-economic (SES) diversity. The results indicate that facilitating a supportive HLE is vital for early child development outcomes through promoting effective caregiving interaction activities and age-appropriate learning and playing resources, particularly for children in low SES households. Girls, ECE enrollments, and preschoolers in high SES households are more likely to fulfill their developmental potential, benefiting from different components of HLE activities. The domain-specific components of HLE are not only associated with child development outcomes within their respective domains but also across domains.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This study clarified how specific elements of home learning environment influence specific domains of early childhood development outcomes for preschoolers across different backgrounds. The findings are helpful for the government to design appropriate guidelines on the tailored parenting programs.
