Abstract
The study explored parental participation in Early Childhood Development (ECD) in Rundu Circuit. The aim of the study was to comprehend the Situation of Early Childhood Development in Namibia, variables that impede parent participation in ECD centres, and the obstacles parents confront in becoming involved in ECD centres. Furthermore, the study employed Bronfenbrenners Bio-Ecological system theory to examine the link between home and school. The study adopted a qualitative literary research approach that analysed parental involvement in education in Rundu Circuit. Semi-structured interviews with the parents were conducted at ECD schools within the Rundu circuit. The data were interpreted using both content and thematic analysis. The study findings highlighted that parents do not understand the importance of ECD programmes. Evidence from the study shows that lack of time, lack of interest, lack of education, poverty, and unemployment hinder parent involvement in ECD centres. The study recommends that parents must involve in ECD despite the challenges faced in life challenges.
