Early child education refers primarily to the stage in life where a child learns through play. Used interchangeably with it are the terms “early learning”, “child education”, “child care”, and “early education”. This period begins from birth and ends at the age of eight according to the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC).
The term has been used widely to describe the education of preschoolers, and even baby programs. Although (as mentioned earlier) this period includes all children ages 8 and below, it is a stage that concentrates more on the years from birth up to the end of preschool (usually at age four).
As a parent, you should be involved in the period of early child education by helping enhance your toddler’s learning. Fortunately, the internet can help you. There is almost nothing that cannot be found on the internet today, and this is true even for educational resources for toddlers. You can find countless educational games, printable activities for toddlers, fun science learning packages, a catalog of toys for toddlers, teaching tools such as blocks, flash cards, math tables for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, planet charts, and a lot more.
There are also many audio-visual games that teach English and the proper pronunciation of words. In addition to that, even French, German, and Spanish pronunciations are included. There are easy-to-use point and click games that test and enhance your toddler’s comprehension memory skills. For example, five apples will be displayed and your toddler’s goal is to correctly choose the number corresponding to the quantity of the items as shown. In this example, the toddler must click “5”. Another similar game focuses, this time, on colors. For example, the computer shows a picture of a banana and your toddler must click on “Yellow” to move on. More games similar to teach on time, the alphabet, animal sounds, etc. are available online.
Perhaps the most important years in a toddler’s life are those during the period of early child education. Thus, you must make sure to provide only the best learning experience during this period. Furthermore, a toddler can only be a toddler once in his lifetime. Why not make his preschool years fun?
