To achieve this purpose, qualitative research method was employed. Participants of this study were O-class teachers, school directors, parents of O-class students and ECCE experts of the town. The schools, O-class teachers, school directors and ECCE experts participated in the study were selected by purposive sampling methods whereas parents were selected by random sampling method. Observation, in depth interview, FGD and document review were used to collect data. The collected qualitative data were analyzed using thematic data analysis technique. Results obtained revealed that the studied primary schools with O-classes have no adequate classrooms, outdoor materials and equipment, conducive playgrounds, basic educational materials and trained O-class teachers. Furthermore, in the schools participated in this study the O-class program suffer from lack of budget, lack of water and child sized toilets, inaccessibility of the schools for students with disabilities and lack of its own administration though it has opportunities like commitment of the government to expand the program and increased parents’ demand for the program.
