EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT - II
Early child period is the most important and critical phase of development
in the entire lifespan of humans. This is why it is important to make early
child development healthy as it influences the mental health, well being,
diseases, conduct and behavior of children in future.
The developmental process of learning and acquiring is gradual but demands
a quick reflex from the surrounding and a huge exposure to the world. This
is the reason why parents need to enroll their kids to playgroups,
kindergartens and schools! Let us see how these schools and centres
contribute and what efforts they take in the physical, social, emotional
and cognitive development of children.
Daycare Centres:
A good quality child day care will have a strong and positive influence on
children’s development and school readiness. It provides valuable
educational and social experiences that stand helpful for the development
of kids. A High quality child care is characterized as:
-
Having well-qualified, well-paid, stable staff
-
Low child-adult ratios
-
Efficient management
As there has been an increase in the number of mothers opting for career
oriented life, most children attend a childcare facility on a regular
basis. Hence, it has become important that children have an access to a
good early education system so that their growth and their future is never
in jeopardy.
Preschool:
Preschool programs give the children early childhood education and care.
They help them to develop a range of skills that make them ready to learn
when they start school, such as:
-
Social skills
-
Language skills
-
Executive function skills (Behavior, problem-solving and being
Creative)
-
Emotional self-regulation skills (Controlling impulses and shifting
attention)
-
Self-regulation in learning skills (Being persistent and
concentrated)
What happens to the child in the early years is critical for the child’s
developmental course as well as life course. Hence, it is necessary to pay
an attention to their growth & development and to the school they go
to.
