“As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” This proverb from our ancestors emphasizes the importance of early childhood education – the foundational stage for a child’s comprehensive development. But what exactly is early childhood education? Let’s explore this magical world with “TUỔI THƠ” (Childhood)!
Early Childhood Education – Sowing Seeds, Nurturing Sprouts
Early childhood education is the first level in the national education system, catering to children from 3 months to 6 years old. Unlike higher education levels, early childhood education focuses on unlocking potential and fostering holistic development in physical, cognitive, linguistic, emotional, aesthetic, and social skills.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Duong, an early childhood education expert with over 20 years of experience at Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hanoi: “Each child is a flower with unique colors. The mission of early childhood education is to create the most favorable conditions for these flowers to bloom brilliantly.”
A Colorful World Inside a Preschool Classroom
Stepping into a preschool classroom is like entering a vibrant fairytale world filled with cheerful chatter, imaginative games, and diverse learning activities.
- Learning Through Play, Playing to Learn: Children participate in active games, role-playing, learning corners, etc., which help develop their senses, thinking skills, creativity, and social skills.
- Music – Painting – Art: Joyful melodies, whimsical paintings, graceful dances… help children develop their aesthetic talents and nurture a pure soul.
- Love – Sharing – Caring: In an early childhood education environment, children learn to love, share, and help friends and teachers, thereby forming positive character traits.
The Role of Early Childhood Education – A Solid Foundation for the Future
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping and developing a child’s personality.
- Holistic Development: It helps children develop comprehensively in physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional, and social skills, creating a solid foundation for subsequent education levels.
- Unlocking Potential: Every child has unique qualities. Early childhood education helps to unlock and maximize their potential and talents from a young age.
- Character Building: The “preschool” stage is the golden period for forming positive character traits and essential life skills for children.
