Participants were enrolled in this study by purposive sampling method. The data was collected between October 2019 and March 2020. We analyzed our data using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and simple linear regression.
Our study found that the residential sanitation management was at a high level (3.49±0.47), while the levels of food sanitation management (3.25±0.39), water supply sanitation management (3.25±0.39), and solid waste management (3.12±0.27) were at medium level. The study showed that environmental health management factors affecting the implementation of environmental health of child development centers and can be used together to explain the variation in the environmental health management at 72.2 percent (R2= 0.722) at the significance level of 0.05.
