Abstract
The following editorial accentuates the role of responsive caregiving and efficacious parenting strategies, specifically during the first 1000 days of a child's life and early childhood development, especially for children in low-and middle-income countries. Adequate and potent parenting interventions proficiently contribute to the early years of a child's life and lead to overall positive outcomes in the future. This editorial aims to introduce the first-ever Hospital-based Early Childhood Development Parenting Readiness Program (ECD-PREP) initiated by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Aga Khan University, and narrates the model in use. The program strongly advocates early childhood development, responsive parenting, and caregiving by integrating nurturing care into care practices and guaranteeing each child's holistic development and future well-being.
