ABSTRACT: Early childhood education (ECE) significantly impacts the development of social problem-solving skills among young children, which are crucial for their social and cognitive development. This study explores how ECE programs influence children's ability to solve social problems. The objectives are to (1) assess the social problem-solving skills of children in ECE programs, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of problem-solving activities in ECE settings, and (3) examine the differences in social problem-solving skills between children who attend ECE programs and those who do not. A survey design was employed to gather quantitative data on social problem-solving skills and qualitative insights from educators and parents. A purposive sample of 120 children from preschools in Enugu State was selected. The case study focuses on preschools with robust problem-solving curricula. Findings revealed that children attending ECE programs demonstrated superior social problem-solving skills compared to their non-ECE counterparts. Structured problem-solving activities were particularly effective. Recommendations include integrating problem-solving activities into ECE curricula and training educators to foster these skills in young learners.
