WHY EARLY EDUCATION
Early Education is crucial in developing countries because it:
- Builds learning foundations children need for success in school
- Enhances the cognitive growth and strengthens social, emotional and behavioral development of children
- Allows older children to regularly attend school because they do not have to care for their younger siblings
- Increases the likelihood that girls will complete school
- Provides caregivers the opportunity to work or pursue an education without being encumbered with young children
- Provides young women an opportunity to contribute to their family income by beoming teachers in their villages
- Raises parents’ awareness of how early education can make a difference for the future of their child
Research indicates that an investment in early education is a proven way to improve the lives of marginalized children.
