Early Life and Education

Early childhood is an incredibly important period in a child’s development as they begin to form their sense of identity and form strong attachments with their parents.

Children need active stimulation and socialization with others to thrive, skills they develop during early childhood education programs.

However, the early education sector faces numerous difficulties. For instance, in America, ECEC systems are highly fragmented and mostly private.

ECEC encompasses a wide range of part-day, full-school-day and workday programs under educational, social welfare and commercial umbrellas. Sometimes there is an emphasis on “care”, while at other times there is greater focus placed on “education”. Despite growing consensus among ECEC scholars and advocates that an integrated approach to ECEC is necessary, these differences remain.
