Call for Papers: Team Concepts in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC)

Featured article: Public or private? Determinants of parents’ preschool choice in India
Nowadays children aged between 3 and 6 years are mostly attending one of the two major forms of preschool viz. public and private preschools in India. Even though public preschools are free of any financial cost to the parents, their preference is more towards private preschools.
