Special Issue on Preschool Education
Preschool education
(or infant education) is the provision of learning to children before the
commencement of statutory and obligatory education, usually between the ages of
zero and three or five, depending on the jurisdiction. In some places, such as
the United States, preschool precedes Kindergarten and the normal primary
school system. In others, including much of Europe, preschool and Kindergarten
programs are the same early childhood education programs. Preschool programs
may be part of or separate from child care services needed by working parents.
They may be government-run programs or private ventures. Some countries provide
significant subsidies to pay for the costs of the programs.
It is well
established that the most important years of learning are begun at birth.
During these early years, a human being is capable of absorbing more
information at a time than they will ever be able to again. The environment of
the young child influences the development of cognitive skills and emotional
skills due to the rapid brain growth that occurs in the early years. Studies
have shown that high quality/ or any high rated preschools have a long term
effect in improving the outcomes of a child, especially a disadvantaged child.
In this special
issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit
