What is the Relevance of Early Childhood Education?

Some Early childhood educator believes that, the early children's education starting so early is not bad, currently, it is noticed that most experts believe that early childhood education is the focus of education before the age of 3-5years.

  • Early childhood is a critical period of intellectual development of a child. If close attention is paid to it, early education can improve learning outcomes. For example, some believe that, during the 2-3 year old children are in their best age to learn spoken language, language learning is best at the latest not more than 4-5 years of age, children can learn a foreign language because at this time, they are not confused with the national language; 5 or 5and  half years old is the best age to master a few concepts, while 6 years old is the development of the size, orientation perceived best age.
   
  • Human intelligence or mental ability is as a result of genetic and environmental interactions. Kimura, a Japanese scholar long believed that the potential of children follows a law of diminishing return. That children were born with a potential capacity of 100 points, and it would be ideal if early education can began with the 100 capacity, but If education start from the age of five, the child can only have 80 point ability, while, If education start from the age of 10, the child can only have 60 points to become human ability.

  • Early education can promote brain development. Some parents worry that the implementation of early education for children, they says that it can make their children’s brain get tired, in fact, such worries are unnecessary. Some researchers have studied the biochemical changes in the brains of animals. The facts show that early environmental stimuli and rich learning opportunities not only does not harm brain development, but also promote the development of the brain. From these few points, you can understand why early childhood education is important.
