A survey research was conducted in Karachi from ECCE teachers to collect the data. The researcher used purposive sampling from private sector schools. The data were analyzed and presented in the form descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, and mean. Inferential statistics included the use of multiple linear regression.
