“Uốn cây từ thuở còn non, dạy con từ thuở con còn thơ bé” – “Bend the tree when it is young, teach the child when they are small.” This Vietnamese proverb emphasizes the importance of preschool education – the golden period in a child’s development. So, what are the 5 key goals of preschool education and how can we achieve them? Let’s explore this with me, a preschool teacher with over 12 years of experience. 5 mục tiêu giáo dục mầm non đến năm 2020
I remember the story of Minh, a shy boy who clung to his mother on his first day of school. But after being loved and encouraged by his teachers to participate in activities, Minh became an active and confident boy. This clearly demonstrates the importance of setting the right preschool education goals.
Holistic Development for Children
The 5 goals of preschool education aim for the holistic development of children in physical, cognitive, language, emotional, social, and aesthetic aspects. Each goal is equally important, contributing to shaping personality and preparing children for first grade. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, principal of Thien My Kindergarten, emphasized in her book “Raising Preschool Children”: “Preschool education is not just about teaching children to read, write, and count, but also about sparking a love for learning and exploring the world around them.”
5 Specific Goals of Preschool Education
1. Physical Development
Helping children develop basic motor skills, form healthy eating and living habits, and ensure good health. A healthy child learns and plays better. As the saying goes, “Health is wealth,” highlighting its importance.
2. Cognitive Development
Igniting children’s curiosity and eagerness to learn, helping them understand the world around them. Preschool academic year theme 2019-2020 focused on exploring nature, helping children learn more about their living environment.
3. Language Development
Training children’s listening, speaking, reading, writing, and communication skills. Language is the key for children to acquire knowledge and integrate into the community.
4. Emotional – Social Development
Helping children develop positive emotions, life skills, and integrate into the community. I believe that a child who is loved will know how to love others in return.
5. Aesthetic Development
Nurturing a love for beauty, artistic appreciation, and creativity in children. Preschool poem about the countryside field is a great example to evoke a love for nature and aesthetic emotions in children.
The Importance of Preschool Education
Preschool education is the foundation for a child’s development, a crucial stepping stone for the next levels of education. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Mai, “Investing in preschool education is investing in the future of the country.” Goals of preschool education always aim to build a healthy, dynamic, and creative young generation.
