The Importance of Early Childhood Education
Nowadays,
education becomes top priority or necessity that must be owned by
people. They compete to achieve higher education in order to be
successful in this modern age. Parents also have prepared their children
by supplying them proper education from earlier. They send their
children in qualified schools starting from kindergarten, elementary,
junior high school, high school up to high-level education such as
university or other high schools. This is a good thing. However, they
forget that early childhood education is also known by PAUD is
essential. In fact, the authors dare to say that the early childhood
education plays an important role in determining their success in the
future. To be clearer, here are the two paragraphs that discuss the
importance of early childhood education for children.
The
first reason why early childhood education is very important is that it
prepares children’ mental before they enter the real period of
education. Commonly, children under five are still stiff even scared by
the new atmosphere and the new people around them. Therefore they need
to be introduced by the schools situation and also new people who will
they meet such as teachers, friends and others. This will make them
accustomed to learning in the classroom so that they do not feel odd or
even shocked to learn in elementary school.
The
next point makes it important is early childhood education can help
children discover and develop their potencies. Those Potencies such as
reading, counting, speaking and others will improve well. It happens
because their age that still less than five years called as a golden
age. At that time, their brains are still developing well so that they
are able to receive all of the lessons they learned. Even in this golden
age will determine what they will be in the future.
In
short, early childhood education is necessary for children under age of
five years before entering the real school period. Early childhood
education helps them to introduce the school and also helps them develop
their potencies. Parents should send their children into early
childhood education (PAUD) first before sending them to Elementary
School.
