What is early learning?

By UNESCO’s definition -Early childhood, defined as the period from birth to eight years old, is a time of remarkable growth with brain development at its peak. During this stage, children are highly influenced by the environment and the people that surround them.

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) is more than preparation for primary school. It aims at the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs in order to build a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. ECCE has the possibility to nurture caring, capable and responsible future citizens

 What are the key pillars of early learning ?

  • Balanced: Provide a balance of play and structured activities, including adult- and child-initiated exploration.
  • Based on a child’s developmental needs: Activities, materials, and schedules should be appropriate to a child’s age and support all developmental domains.
  • Milestone led: Reflect current research on child development and should include specific learning goals for children.
