Early education is a topic that covers a wide range of aspects. Everything a child is exposed to has the potential to teach them- whether it is social skills, motor skills or skills that are more cerebral. A child begins to learn more formally between the ages of 4-6, but this is usually done in a more flexible, motivating and fun environment such as Kindergarten. Kindergarten also helps children adjust to a more school-like structure, with school desks and chairs, scheduled playtime and more formal learning activities and classes.
Early educators have the privilege and responsibility to give children a positive introduction to learning, providing them with the confidence and the tools to succeed throughout their academic lives.
