Abstract

In the last two decades, there has been an increasing trend in educational research to focus on father involvement in early childhood programs (ECPs). In this review, the focus is on centre-based ECPs since the area has received little attention and requires further exploration. This systematic review synthesised past qualitative studies on the approaches and strategies employed to promote father involvement in centre-based ECPs. The review identified 13 articles which were published between January 2000 and June 2022. Thematic synthesis was used for data analysis, resulting in two superordinate themes, namely relational and structural approaches, which promote father involvement in centre-based ECPs. Specifically, the relational approach recommends the values of respectful interactions between fathers and program staff, and emotional support from peers and partners. The structural approach can best be used to consider both the “what” and “how” aspects of activity development. Both the relational and structural approaches highlight gender-differentiated approaches in promoting father involvement in ECPs. Early childhood practitioners could adopt these approaches and strategies in future program development and professional training.
