Abstract

Preschool education is essential for developing young children's social, cognitive, and emotional skills, which positively impacts their long-term academic success. Research shows that access to quality early childhood education significantly enhances children's language, motor, and social abilities, easing their transition to elementary school. Furthermore, investing in preschool education is highly cost-effective: it reduces socio-economic inequalities, lowers the risk of school dropout, and supports the integration of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is the case in Morocco, which launched a program in 2019 to expand access to preschool education under the framework of NIHD “National Initiative of Human Development. The program aims to provide free, quality preschool education in rural areas. The main objective of this paper is to provide an in-depth presentation of the exploratory phase conducted to enhance understanding of the impact of preschool education on students' academic performance.
