Is Early Childhood Care Education Important?

The period from birth to eight years old is one of remarkable brain development for children and represents a crucial window of opportunity for education. When children are healthy, safe, and learning well in their early years, they are better able to reach their full developmental potential as adults and participate effectively in economic, social, and civic life. Providing early childhood care education (ECCE) is regarded as a means of promoting equity and social justice, inclusive economic growth, and advancing sustainable development.

A range of research and evidence has converged to support this claim. First, neuroscience has shown that the environment affects the nature of brain architecture – the child’s early experiences can provide either a strong or a fragile foundation for later learning, development, and behaviors. Second, larger economic returns on investment in prior-to-school programs than in programs for adolescents and adults have been demonstrated. Third, educational sciences have revealed that participation in early childhood care and education programs boosts children’s school readiness and reduces the gap between socially advantaged and disadvantaged children at the starting gate of school.

From a human rights perspective, expanding quality early learning is an important means for realizing the right to education from a lifelong learning perspective. Early childhood care education provides a significant preparation for basic education and a lifelong learning journey. UNESCO believes early childhood education that is truly inclusive is much more than just preparation for primary school. It can be the foundation for emotional well-being and learning throughout life and one of the best investments a country can make as it promotes holistic development, gender equality, and social cohesion.

Donnish Hub Educational Limited provides a truly inclusive early childhood care education through its partners in elementary, primary, and high schools in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland. Our partner schools acknowledged that early childhood care and education are more than preparation for primary school. It aims at the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs to build a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and well-being. ECCE can nurture caring, capable, and responsible future citizens.

The unique feature of the ECCE with Donnish Hub partner schools is that the schools in the USA, Canada, and Australia can invite the parents to accompany their children, making the children still feel at home. On arrival, the parents could decide to settle there permanently.
