Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 38-41). Despite governmental efforts, access to quality childcare remains limited in Dhaka, adversely impacting economic productivity and child development. This qualitative research explores the perceptions of 9 middle-class working mothers in Dhaka through in-depth interviews, aiming to uncover opinions about home-based daycare services and access to quality childcare. It highlights the challenges faced by these mothers in accessing suitable childcare options, stressing the need for enhanced accessibility and availability of home-based daycare centers. Affordability is a significant concern, particularly for middle-class families, necessitating financial assistance programs and flexible payment options. The research emphasizes the importance of quality standards and regulations for ensuring children's well-being and development, advocating for caregiver training, nutrition, space design, and regular assessments. Additionally, it emphasizes the positive impacts of home-based daycare on early learning, development, and women's empowerment. By addressing these findings, policymakers, childcare providers, and stakeholders can collaboratively create a more inclusive, accessible, and high-quality childcare ecosystem, fostering economic growth and societal development in Dhaka. It highlights the necessity of integrating childcare reforms into existing legislation for sustained impact. Sayma Akhter Rakhi M.
