Now don\u2019t let all these names confuse you, as they all serve the same purpose of preparing kids for elementary education. Giving kids special attention and training before joining elementary school helps them get a head start for a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The\u00a0<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Harvard Center on the Developing Child<\/mark>\u00a0describes early childhood as the period during which &#8220;serve and return&#8221; interactions between children and caregivers build the neural connections that form the foundation for all future learning, behaviour, and health.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"elementary education\" class=\"wp-image-3834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_1.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_Of_Early_Childhood_Education\"><\/span>Importance Of Early Childhood Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Early education is very similar to training programs given to kids, which allow children to gain social, physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Developing these traits in class helps them to better adjust to life eventually. In fact, studies have shown that early education, if done right, helps kids develop a lifelong love affair with education, and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_Of_Early_Childhood_Education_in_India\"><\/span>Benefits Of Early Childhood Education in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The landmark\u00a0<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">HighScope Perry Preschool Project<\/mark>\u00a0\u2014 a 40-year longitudinal study \u2014 found that children who received <a href=\"https:\/\/highscope.org\/project\/perry-preschool-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high-quality<\/a> early childhood education had significantly higher graduation rates, higher earnings as adults, and lower rates of criminal activity compared to those who did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Learning_To_Value_Education\"><\/span>1. Learning To Value Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good quality early childhood education in a preschool or childcare center helps them to value the need for education and the importance of lifelong learning. Early education provides kids with cognitive and social experiences that allow them to be independent. It also helps develop a positive attitude towards education, which ultimately ensures their academic as well as lifelong success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Having_A_Strong_Foundation\"><\/span>2. Having A Strong Foundation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early childhood care and education allow your kids to develop their social skills. And these social skills will ultimately help them have healthy and strong relationships with people. Early education lets your little one get along and share with their peers while learning to listen and communicate their feelings and ideas with them. These skills help your kids develop friendships and build their future as well as identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Developing_Emotional_Resilience\"><\/span>3. Developing Emotional Resilience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early childhood education helps kids develop emotional resilience. Studies and researches show that kids who have attended preschool or childcare from 2 to 3 years of age have greater attention skills than their peers. They are also able to manage their emotions much better. But that\u2019s not all. Parents benefit when they send their little ones to childcare as they reap emotional, financial, and social rewards from building relationships with other parents and families at the childcare facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"childcare center\" class=\"wp-image-3835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VALUES-AND-BENEFITS_2.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Building_And_Nurturing_Good_Habits\"><\/span>4.

Well, early education helps kids teach and incorporate everyday healthy habits like washing their hands properly before any meal or brushing their teeth. These habits over time help build a healthy routine that leads to early childhood development. Additionally, this also helps kids be prepared for kindergarten while making family life easier as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Developing_Learning_Skills\"><\/span>5. Developing Learning Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning to read, write, and count forms the foundation of a child\u2019s education. But that\u2019s not all that it means when we talk about developing learning skills. Kids tend to learn a lot by looking at pictures and talking about them or by listening to stories. They also develop their learning skills by drawing shapes and pouring sand into containers. These skills ultimately help them perform well in their literacy and numeracy test in primary schools and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Enjoying_An_Overall_Successful_Future\"><\/span>6. Enjoying An Overall Successful Future<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of early childhood education are immense and last a lifetime. Surveys have shown that adults who went for good early childhood education from the age of 2 years and above are more likely to remain employed for a longer time and graduate. Skills learned during this age are crucial for your kid\u2019s social, academic, and emotional performance. Further research shows that children, who haven\u2019t received early childhood education are more likely to experience developmental vulnerability when starting primary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As parents, it is normal for you to wish that your little one gets a head start in school as well as in life. It is a good investment to send your kids to a preschool or child center, where that focus on child development through early childhood education. Hopefully, this article has given you some ideas about why early childhood education is an absolute must when it comes to your kids\u2019 bright and beautiful future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As parents of young kids, what do you think is the best start they can get in life?

He co-founded Footprints after recognising a fundamental gap: working parents in India needed a childcare option that combined genuine safety, research-backed curriculum, and real-time parent connectivity. A certified life coach with deep exposure to behavioural science and developmental psychology, Purvesh leads parenting workshops and engagement programmes across Footprints centres \u2014 directly engaging with tens of thousands of Indian parents on the challenges of raising young children in urban India. As a parent himself, he brings lived experience to every piece he writes on child behaviour, tantrums, discipline, habit formation, and school readiness. His writing is grounded in both the science of early childhood development and the real, daily decisions Indian parents face.","url":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/author\/purvesh-sharma\/"}]}},"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
