It is crucial for children to receive quality stimulation and nurturing from their parents, teachers, and caregivers during this period. Doing so will help them develop social and emotional skills necessary for academic success.
Education can have a lasting effect on young children’s lives. Studies show that those who receive early childhood education (ECE) experience better health and educational outcomes as adults.
