ABSTRACT: Assessing the impact of early childhood education on academic achievement gaps is vital for promoting educational equity. This study aimed to evaluate how early childhood education programs influence the reduction of academic achievement gaps among children from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The objectives were to (1) assess improvements in academic performance, (2) evaluate the integration of support activities in the curriculum, and (3) examine changes in educational outcomes for children from low-income families. A survey design was chosen to systematically collect data from participants, providing a comprehensive understanding of the topic. A purposive sample of 130 children aged 4-6 years, from various socioeconomic backgrounds, was selected to ensure relevant experiences. The case study focused on an early childhood education center in Ondo State, known for its inclusive education initiatives. Findings revealed significant improvements in academic performance, the effectiveness of support activities, and reduced academic achievement gaps for children from low-income families. The study recommended integrating targeted support activities into early childhood curricula and providing resources to support children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
