dc.description.abstractEducation is known to be one of the basic requirements for the development of any nation. It is critical for sustaining growth as it brings about a total transformation in the lives of the citizens. For this to be achieved, it is important to initiate it early in life but a major concern in the recent decades is the preparation or training of teachers especially of the basic level of education. In Nigeria, the importance of teachers and teacher education is clearly stated in the national policy on education document which states that “No education can rise above the quality of its teachers”. In other words, the training of early childhood educators has significant role to play in the achievement of the stated policies. This paper therefore discussed how early childhood teachers are being trained in Nigeria colleges of education in particular. Also, the challenges faced in training these teachers and possible solutions were suggested.en_US
