The study provided a comprehensive overview of the existing assessment tools and indicators for early learning quality in sub-Saharan Africa. The review process adhered to the updated guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and followed Arksey and O'Malley’s five-step framework. The steps included first specifying the research question, followed by identifying relevant studies, selecting which studies to include, and then extracting, mapping, and charting the data. Finally, the results were collated, summarized, and reported. To ensure methodological rigor, the scoping review aligned with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Extensions for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Furthermore, the screening of publications for eligibility was guided by the SOCT framework, ensuring a consistent application of inclusion and exclusion criteria throughout the review process.
