ABSTRACT: Assessing the role of early childhood education in addressing mental health stigma is vital for fostering a supportive and understanding environment from a young age. This study aimed to evaluate how early childhood education programs influence children's perceptions and attitudes towards mental health. The objectives were to (1) assess improvements in children's understanding of mental health, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of mental health education activities in the curriculum, and (3) examine changes in children's behavior towards peers with mental health challenges. A survey design was chosen to systematically collect data from participants, providing a comprehensive understanding of the topic. A purposive sample of 110 children aged 4-6 years, engaged in mental health education programs, was selected to ensure relevant experiences. The case study focused on an early childhood education center in Kaduna State, known for its mental health awareness initiatives. Findings revealed significant improvements in children's understanding of mental health, the effectiveness of mental health education activities, and positive changes in behavior towards peers with mental health challenges. The study recommended integrating mental health education into early childhood curricula and providing training for educators to effectively address mental health stigma.
