This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education degree in Educational Leadership and School Improvement, 2024. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 34-38). In Dhaka, Bangladesh, the decrease in playgrounds due to rapid urbanization is evident. Studies have highlighted the adverse effects on children's development when they lack outdoor play opportunities, leading to potential delays and digital device dependency. Despite government awareness, insufficient action has been taken. To address this issue, a research initiative was launched to investigate parental attitudes towards community-based play centers for children aged 3 to 8 in Dhaka. Utilizing qualitative methods, data was collected through a semi-structured survey questionnaire using purposive sampling. Findings revealed that most parents recognize the importance of play for children's development, emphasizing its role in socialization, brain development, learning, and language skills. However, emotional development was often overlooked. Parents expressed support for community-based play centers as viable alternatives to traditional playgrounds due to security concerns. Challenges in establishing such centers include fundraising, parental persuasion, procurement of play materials, and political obstacles. Sajia Salam M.
