Literal question
Does (name) attend any organized learning or early childhood education programme, such as a private or government facility, including kindergarten or community child care?
Interviewer instructions
This question aims to find out if the child is participating in early learning activities. Baby-sitting or child-minding, even if done in a special place such as a day-care centre, does not qualify as such a programme unless it includes organized learning activities. You must ensure that the mother or primary caretaker understands the meaning of 'Early Childhood Education Programme', explaining it as instructed. Circle the appropriate code. Skip to EC7 if the answer to this question is 'No' or 'DK'. Survey Coordinators: Supply appropriate local terms for these types of education programmes. If you are unsure of whether a programme qualifies as an 'early childhood education programme', contact the MICS4 regional coordinator.
