Why education support?
At Morgan Charitable Foundation, we acknowledge the fact that Child education in Nigeria plays a crucial role in the formative years of a child. A child’s early years lay the foundation for all that is to come. It is at this stage children need to learn and develop their cognitive skills.
What Is Child Education?
Child education is a theory that relates to the teaching of children from birth up to the age of twelve. Traditionally, this is up to the equivalent of third grade. This is described as an important period in child development. At an early age, the brain develops much faster.
The Benefits Of Child Education
A lot of parents are not aware of the benefits of early childhood education to their children. Some do not even see the need for enrolling their children in preschool or kindergarten, as they do not consider this level of learning to be important. This is the wrong notion, as early childhood education is vital to the growth and development of your child.
Improved Social Skills
Young children love to play and communicate with their mates, and the preschool environment gives them the opportunity to do just that. Besides, the environment enables children to acquire crucial skills that allow them to listen to one another, express ideas, make friends, and collaborate. One major advantage of social skills in early childhood education in Nigeria is the fact that it plays a key role in facilitating a student’s achievement in reading and mathematics by directly influencing motivation, which in turn influences engagement
Eagerness to learn
It is a statement of fact that students who receive quality education are reportedly more confident and inquisitive, which causes them to perform better in grade school. For instance, students who started from the preschool stage to the secondary phase will achieved outstanding performance and recognition in their academics.
At Morgan Charitable Foundation, we believe strongly that giving young children early childhood education helps them to learn how to manage challenges and build resilience in times of difficulty. You will find that students who begin a school from the preschool to the secondary settle easily at the institution and they acquire a long-term interest in learning different things, including music, drama, singing etc.
Encouraging Holistic Development
Teaching young children provides a strong footing for their development. It helps to build a child’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional proficiency which will prepare them for life challenges. At an early age, children are curious to learn.
Boost Self-Confidence
Through interactions with other children and teachers, children develop a positive mind set and perception of themselves. A child at three years, when compared to other children who might be older, will display a level of boldness and articulation — this is as a result of teaching early child education.
No child should be out of school as a result of poverty.
Enhanced Attention Span
Young children always find it difficult to pay attention in the classroom, especially from age 3 to 5 years. The length of time during which children concentrates as always been a concern for educators and teachers. Nevertheless, if young children are at a tender age, this will help enhance their attention span. Motor skills are very crucial to young children — task such as painting, drawing, playing with toys can go a long way in improving their attention.
The Important of Child Education
Children who take part in child education programmes have improved social skills and do better in school. They also learn essential life skills that stay with them forever. Most importantly, education environment where children meet other children is a place where children have fun in a safe and loving environment.
