Early childhood education comes at the stage in a childs life when he/she is physically and emotionally ready to explore the world with new people and in new places separate from his/her parents. It is meant to be an extension of the caring and teaching experiences he/she receives from birth. The goal is to provide a secure environment, which meets the needs of each child. The experience offered in the environment should include opportunities to develop:
SOCIALLY by fostering rewarding relationships with children and adults;
PHYSICALLY by encouraging use of large and small muscles and exploring the relationship between his/her own body and things in the environment;
INTELLECTUALLY by providing for inquiry, exploration and discovery through play and problem-solving and by nurturing of natural curiosity and the stimulation of language in an informal setting;
EMOTIONALLY by providing a gradual transition from home to school meeting each child and parent with trust, offering opportunities to test relationships with peers and surrounding in order to better establish his/her image of him/herself as a worthwhile person.
Because children are individual with their own unique pattern of growth and development, they need a child-centered, informal environment where they are free to start and free to stop; where the teacher meets the child at his/her own level, and where warmth and wisdom are evident in qualified adult leadership.
