From the Ministry of Education and ministry of health, twenty-three participants were selected through the use of the purposive sampling technique. The data collection methods comprised in-depth inteinterviewscus group discussions, key informant interviews, non-Participatory observation, and a review of related literature were used. The data was systematically analyzed using content analysis of various data sources. The findings have shown, there is a gap in the implementation of the revised Civil Service Proclamation particularly enacted the mandates given to government offices to establish child day care at workplaces and the national child day care center directives. Moreover, the government hierarchy is difficult to coordinate and monitor the service, to avail quality workplace child daycare service. The main findings of the research show that there is no formally trained staff in early child daycare services. Education and/or specialized qualifications have a huge impact on the overall quality of caregiving. Much attention has to be paid to the education and/or training of child caregivers. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should make all the possible strives to start new caregiver training programs at least diploma level and th curriculum and syllabus should be prepared to produce child care professionals with better knowledge, skill, and attitude on child development and care so they become professionals in their careers.enknowledgeskillThesis
