This study, conducted in collaboration with the USAID Early Grade Reading and Mathematics Initiative (RAMP) and the Ministry of Education between December 2017 and August 2018, aims to identify types of kindergarten services, providers, and factors influencing parental enrollment decisions. It also emphasizes the need to reevaluate KG2 expansion policies in Jordan. The study's sample included 520 schools, encompassing both rural and urban areas per governorate, along with "vulnerable districts" as designated by UNICEF/Jordan and UNRWA schools. The study surveyed 10,500 parents of grade 1 children from across Jordan regarding their children’s school participation in the previous year. Findings showed a significant gap between reported attendance rates (84%) and official enrollment statistics (60%), indicating substantial unrecognized KG provision. KG2 attendees were primarily enrolled in full-time formal classes, with cost identified as a major enrollment factor. Discrepancies in KG access between urban and rural areas were observed, with public provision being more prevalent in rural regions. Syrian children exhibited lower KG2 attendance rates, attributed to financial constraints. Proposed strategies include offering affordable KG options in areas with a concentration of Syrian families. The study highlights a strong demand for KG services in Jordan, particularly among urban families with limited access to public KG. The study underscores the necessity of strategies that promote affordable, high-quality KG choices, encourage private sector involvement, and provide customized solutions. Its insights can inform policy decisions aimed at improving KG services, contributing to the goal of achieving universal KG access aligned with national development objectives.
