Overview

Early childhood education refers to the teaching imparted to children up to the age of eight. This period is important for a child's development and is thus a crucial stage requiring special care and attention. Parents are an integral part of the early learning process. Proper exposure and organized lesson plans are important to promote education. Learning through play allows a child to develop cognitively. Further, it stimulates social interactions allowing children to learn more. Hence, significant emphasis is laid on learning through activities such as art, dramatic play and social games at this stage. A fun learning environment can be created with the correct supervision, and by providing a safe space. Poor health and nutrition, and lack of physical and emotional security can stand as a barrier to children reaching their educational potential. As a result, problems such as motor development delay, impaired cognitive and behavioural capacities, depression, and difficulties with attention and concentration may arise. These factors need to be taken into consideration when developing an education policy for children in their early years. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on early childhood education have been included in this book. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about early childhood education.
