Description
The most important period of human development is from birth to eight years old. During these years, the development of cognitive skills, emotional well-being, social competence and sound physical and mental health builds a strong foundation for success well into the adult years. Although learning takes place throughout life, in early childhood, learning is taking place at a speed that will never be equaled. The preschool (or pre-primary) education years fall in the middle of the early childhood period and lay the groundwork for success in school and beyond.Although this brief is focused on the pre-primary years, we note that learning through play is relevant throughout the whole early childhood period and beyond.
