The state of early learning provision remains elusive in Namibia. This study aimed at determining the provision of early learning to children aged between 0-8 years; caregivers' capabilities; and the resources availability in the country. The study used a mixed methods approach in collecting data from a sample of 32 ECD centres and caregivers. The convergent parallel mixed methods used a questionnaire, observation check list, photography and interviews with caregivers. Thematic analysis was applied to augment the qualitative data. The results showed that achieving inclusive, equitable and quality education for all children in Namibia was a pipe dream in the prevailing education, economic and social situation in the country. Factors contributing to the non-attainment of quality and equitable ECD for all children included; overcrowded ECD centres; inadequate learning environments and poor physical facilities. This study recommends a comprehensive training programme, a better learning environment, and the use of locally available materials for teaching at ECD centres.
