| Summary: | Early childhood education (ECE) is a crucial place to start when it comes to fostering lifetime attitudes and behaviors associated with environmental and social responsibility in the framework of global initiatives to promote sustainability. The influence of incorporating sustainability ideas into preschool instruction on early learning outcomes is examined in this study. Eight major evaluation criteria, spanning from the assessment of learning outcomes to the integration of environmental awareness, were used to evaluate eight different preschool programs using a neutrosophic framework. Structured observations, curriculum analysis, teacher interviews, and parent input were used to gather data in both urban and rural areas. This study uses the single valued neutrosophic sets (SVNS) to overcome uncertainty. The correlation coefficient of SVNS is used in this study. The results show that preschools with significant community involvement, teacher training in sustainability, and active environmental engagement are likely to develop more eco-conscious behavior, collaboration, and critical thinking in young children. The study offers useful insights for curriculum developers, educators, and policymakers by adding to the expanding body of research that connects early childhood pedagogical innovation with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
