Early education is the education of adults to infants. This is the enlightenment education of life, which has the significance of laying a foundation. 0-7 years old is the fastest period of children's brain development. If we can enrich children's life at this time and give correct education according to their age characteristics, we can accelerate children's intellectual development and lay the foundation for the formation of good behavior habits and personality quality.
The principles and methods of early education are based on the theory of early childhood development. Educators should not only consider the objective educational requirements, but also attach great importance to children's maturity and development possibilities.
Early education is equivalent to learning:
Children learn to read within 1 year, and learn foreign languages within 3 years. Reading and reciting poems is just a simple memory imitation, and it can't represent a child's true intelligence and ability. Children aged 0 to 3 are in a critical period of emotional and language development.
Therefore, the focus of early education is to grasp the order and laws of children's physical and mental development, such as language, intelligence, physical quality and senses, adopt encouraging learning, create a happy environment and develop their own potential.
Entertainment classes to develop physical fitness, imagination and social skills; Music lessons help memory and improve language ability; Art classes to improve imagination and physical fitness are more suitable for children at this stage than simple learning and mechanical memory.
