Early childhood development centers play a vital role in rural Ethiopian villages by fostering cognitive growth in children under five years of age. Theoretical development approach will be utilised to construct a comprehensive evaluation model without empirical data collection. The theoretical framework will serve as a foundation for future empirical studies aiming to enhance early childhood development programmes in rural Ethiopia. Further research should validate these theoretical insights through longitudinal observational studies and controlled experiments.
