Abstract
This study investigates the impact of teacher-child relationships on early childhood development and learning outcomes, focusing on academic achievement, social skills, and emotional well-being. A survey research design is employed, justified by its ability to gather data from a large sample size. Using Taro Yamane's formula, a sample size of 300 participants is derived, consisting of early childhood educators in Delta State, Nigeria. A case study of one selected school is conducted to provide in-depth insights. The reliability coefficient score is 0.89, indicating high internal consistency. Findings suggest that positive teacher-child relationships significantly enhance academic achievement, social skills, and emotional well-being in early childhood education. Recommendations include the provision of resources for teacher professional development and encouragement of positive teacher-child relationships.
