This study, investigated pre-primary school children developmental level and material provision towards the attainment of the objectives of policy documents in early childhood education in north central, Nigeria. The descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. The sample consisted of 81 pre-primary schools and 1354 pupils’. Multi-stage sampling was used to select the sample. Researcher-designed questionnaires were used to elicit information. Pre-primary school Children Characteristics Rating Scale (PCCR), and School Material Provision Checklist (SMPC), all the instruments and were subjected to face and content validation. The reliabilities of the instruments were established using PPMC; the result yielded 0.94, and 0.84 for PCCR, and SMPC respectively. Two research questions were generated and answered. Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested. Descriptive statistics of frequency, mean, and percentage were used to answer the research questions, and inferential statistics of t-test and Analysis of Co-variance were used to test the two null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Children developmental level was low and enough materials were not available. There was significant difference in pre-primary school children developmental level based on gender (t = 3.964; df = 1350; p< 0.05). It was recommended that schools that do not meet the necessary requirements should be encouraged to meet with the stipulated standard, otherwise, their approval should be revoked.
