This is exactly what we should change in Early Childhood “Education”

“They didn’t teach me anything!” Want to evaluate the quality of your child’s preschool? You could hardly ask for a better endorsement than this one, captured at the end of a three-year-old’s first day of school. In fact, if you visit a classroom and find a preschool teacher lecturing - or children hunched over desks, all engaged in the same teacher-directed activity - run for the hills. That’s because young children don’t learn in the same way older children do. They learn through play. They learn through interaction. They learn through discovery and exploration; through trial and error. The best early childhood teachers are rarely the center of attention in their classrooms. They aren’t there to lecture and drill, but to observe, plan, guide, question, and support the needs of each individual child. Never confuse a lack of stereotypical “teaching” in these classrooms for a lack of LEARNING. Or rigor. Indeed, high quality early childhood classrooms are learning laboratories second only to the home in terms of their life-changing potential. And if your child doesn’t come home covered in paint once in a while, or with grass stains on their pants, you’ve probably chosen the wrong program. Instead look for an endorsement like our hero’s: They didn’t teach me anything, but I had fun. And maybe tomorrow there will be more time to talk about possums.

I agree wholeheartedly with this perspective. However, a significant challenge is that the 'being' aspect is not as easily visible, and parents often want to see tangible evidence of what their children are doing. For educators to focus more on the 'being' aspect, there needs to be a concerted effort to educate parents on what 'being' entails and why it is so crucial. This understanding will help align parent expectations with the more holistic, child-centered approach that emphasizes emotional and social development.

In the realm of early childhood education, it’s crucial to shift our perspective. Rather than viewing children as blank slates to be molded, let’s recognize them as individuals with inherent qualities waiting to unfold. ✨ Embracing this philosophy allows us to foster a learning environment that values each child’s unique traits, encouraging personal growth and curiosity. By doing so, we contribute to a more holistic and empowering educational experience for our youngest learners. #ChildCenteredLearning #EarlyEducation #Education #ChildhoodDevelopment

🌟✨ The Power of Choosing Early Education ✨🌟 As both a parent and an #educationist, I've seen a damaging misconception time and again: NEGLECTING THE IDEA THAT A CHILD’S PRESCHOOL YEARS ARE IMPORTANT 👉 This belief is not only flawed, but it also undermines the crucial foundation of a child's #education. 👉Even when the parents understand the significance of preschool education, the path to making this crucial decision often remains shrouded in uncertainty. Here, in this video, I share #insights gathered from my experience in the education arena, shedding light on the true value of early childhood education and the perspective shift that’s needed on selecting a Pre- school that aligns with your child’s needs. My aim is to dispel any confusion and redefine our understanding of what #preschool education should involve. 🎓 Do you agree with my #perspective, or do you have a different #viewpoint?

Instilling moral values in early childhood is crucial for shaping a child's character and fostering qualities like empathy and honesty. These foundational lessons contribute to positive social behaviour and set the stage for a more compassionate and responsible future. Early childhood serves as a pivotal time for imparting these values, influencing not only individual conduct but also promoting a harmonious society. At KA- The Preschool Preschool, the recognition of the importance of moral values in childhood education is woven into the fabric of their approach. The school stands out for its commitment to instilling not only academic knowledge but also a strong foundation of moral values. Through the regular narration of diverse moral stories and daily discussions on the 'Value of the Month and Words of Wisdom,' KA- The Preschool Preschool actively engages young minds in conversations that go beyond textbooks. This deliberate focus on moral development fosters character building, empathy, and ethical decision-making in the formative years. By integrating these values into daily conversations and activities, KA- The Preschool Preschool exemplifies the belief that nurturing strong moral compasses in early childhood education lays the groundwork for responsible and compassionate individuals who will contribute positively to society. #education #moralvalues #learning #preschool #knowledge #playbasedlearning
