ABSTRACT: The effects of early childhood education on access to early intervention services are essential for ensuring timely support for children with developmental needs. This study aimed to evaluate how early childhood education programs facilitate access to early intervention services. The objectives were to (1) assess the identification rates of developmental delays, (2) evaluate the integration of early intervention referral processes in the curriculum, and (3) examine changes in access to and utilization of early intervention services. A survey design was employed to gather comprehensive data from participants, providing a broad assessment of the topic. A purposive sample of 120 children aged 4-6 years, identified with developmental delays, was selected to ensure relevant experiences. The case study focused on an early childhood education center in Kano State, known for its early intervention services. Findings indicated significant improvements in the identification of developmental delays, the effectiveness of referral processes, and increased access to early intervention services. The study recommended integrating early intervention referral processes into early childhood curricula and providing training for educators to effectively identify and support children with developmental needs.
