Myanmar ECCD policy has been shaped according to consultation, identification of major needs and challenges priority objectives, consideration of recommendations and taking into account the results of workshops, interviews. So, this can be said as really decentralized policy. It is found that Myanmar ECCD emphasizes more care and development for humanistic values such as happiness, balance emotion, freedom, equity and dignity than other pragmatic and behavioristic values. The major aim is found firstly for the contribution to their families, communities where they live and lastly to the nation. Objectives in Myanmar emphasize mostly on early stage of childhood (2-3year) and most objectives focus on this stage for care and development, but detail plans can be seen in preschool education system as mentioned above. Moreover, this policy has target groups and indicators for future target, appropriate method and strategy to implement successfully. However, it is really important to evaluate annually or in an appropriate duration according to the needs, structural and cyclical situations of the local context.
