Early Life and Education

Early childhood education is an integral component of human development. It plays a significant role in shaping life outcomes and health status; acting as one of many social determinants that impact wellness such as housing, income, employment and neighborhood safety. Children’s experiences during their first few years help mold brain development.

Erik Erikson, Friedrich Froebel and Loris Malaguzzi all advocated for child-centric education. These theorists stressed the value of observation and documenting children’s learning and interests to guide teaching practices.

Studies have demonstrated the correlation between life activities and education as a form of cognitive reserve proxy and life activity’s positive association with health; hence the assumption that education may mediate its effect on health through life activities; however this remains an area that needs further investigation.
