Early Life and Education
Early years in a child’s life have an immense effect on their future prospects. It is during these formative years that they develop physical, cognitive and social abilities which will serve them well throughout life.
Children benefit from active stimulation and socialization with others, which is where early childhood education (ECE) programs come in handy.
ECE programs emphasize key developmental milestones and learning skills, from social-emotional to the beginnings of numeracy and literacy. They are built upon research-backed principles that promote optimal health and development for young children.
Erikson’s psychosocial theory emphasizes the importance of educators and parents being involved in supporting a child’s social-emotional development at each stage. By offering this support, children can grow into well-adjusted adults. Early childhood education plays an integral role in these lives as well as those of its communities.
