Abstract

Child care education plays a vital role in strengthening the wellbeing of rural families by equipping parents especially mothers with knowledge and skills that support healthy child development. In many rural communities, limited access to early childhood services leaves families dependent on traditional practices and informal guidance. When caregivers receive proper training in nutrition, hygiene, early learning and emotional support, children experience better health outcomes, stronger cognitive growth and improved school readiness. At the same time, empowered mothers gain confidence, reduced stress and greater participation in community life. By bridging knowledge gaps and promoting responsive parenting, child care education becomes a powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and helping rural families build a healthier more resilient future.
