The early age is a substantial period in human development. The long-term benefit from participating in the early childhood education programs is increasing opportunities for the children to complete their higher education in order to get the better welfare future. In Sumedang regency - the location of this study - the childrenâ€™s participations in joining the early childhood education programs had not been optimized yet. Approximately 47% of the children aged 4-6 years had not participated in the early childhood education programs yet. Thus, it was significant to seek out the factors influencing the childrenâ€™s accessibilities to participate in the early childhood education programs in Sumedang regency in order to find out the alternative policy to increase their accessibilities to participate in the early childhoodeducation programs. The research was conducted in 2017 using the quantitative method. The data were obtained from the â€œ2015 Susenasâ€ which involved 300 respondents. The data analysis was performed by using the logistic regression with the 12th version of STATA software. The findings showed that the childrenâ€™s accessibilities to participate in the early childhood education programs in Sumedang regency was determined by the educational background of the head of family, the marital status of the parents, the head of the familyâ€™s income, the number of the family members, and the childrenâ€™s domicile. Giving knowledge about the importance of early childhood education to the lower educational background parents and enlarging the early childhood schoolsâ€™ facilities and infrastructures especially in rural areas of Sumedang regency still needed to be improved in order to have better human resources in the future.
