The strategic development goals of the Government of Sri Lanka recognizes the importance of human capital formation, including the role of Early Childhood Development (ECD) in realizing the country’s long term development goal. Early Childhood in Sri Lanka is generally considered to be the period from conception to age 5. Early Childhood Development (ECD) services in Sri Lanka can be divided into two groups which are home based and center based. Home based services include parental care for 0-3 years age group and center based services for children in the 3-5 age group. Most of the ECD centers are managed by the private sector and Non-governmental Organizations.
