Abstract	This descriptive study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of pre-primary teachers regarding the growth and development of preschool children in selected schools of Bokaro City. Growth and development during the preschool period are critical for establishing foundational physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills. The study involved 60 pre-primary teachers selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests. Results showed that the majority of teachers (53.33%) had an average level of knowledge, 31.67% had poor knowledge and only 15% demonstrated good knowledge. The Chi-square analysis revealed a significant association between teachers’ knowledge and their age, education, and years of experience, while the number of children and monthly income showed no significant relationship. The findings highlight the need for targeted training and professional development programs to enhance teachers’ understanding of child growth and development, ultimately improving the quality of early childhood education in Bokaro City.
