Early Life and Education

Parents serve as primary educators during a child’s first few years of life, teaching them everything from language development and walking skills to feeding themselves and much more.

Children require active stimulation and social interactions in order to thrive; thus, schools began taking advantage of this crucial period and developing early childhood education programs.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) emphasizes early childhood development as an invaluable opportunity. At this stage of development, children build major brain structures which lay the groundwork for later learning, behavior and health outcomes.

At this early age, children need an excellent education that equips them with essential emotional skills such as self-confidence, managing emotions properly, self-expression and positive self-belief – which are crucial building blocks to social-emotional and academic success throughout their lives.
