The significance of preschool education
The significance of preschool education lies in promoting children's physical and mental health development, cultivating children's good health habits and living habits, cultivating children's correct attitude towards society, the collective, others and themselves, and stimulating children's strong interest in learning and strong desire for creation.

Research shows that early childhood is the fastest period of brain development. The brain is closely related to intelligence. Therefore, in the period of children's rapid brain development, early education has a great influence on intelligence. If children are properly educated in the right way in this period, their intelligence level can be obviously improved.

In early childhood, children's personality quality began to sprout and gradually formed. At this time, their plasticity is strong, and their self-evaluation has not been established. They often evaluate themselves through the evaluations of their parents and teachers. Therefore, preschool education plays an important role in the formation of children's personality quality. Early childhood is a critical period of education.

Because of the characteristics of children's thinking and emotion, they like to think and express with images, sounds, colors and body movements.

Therefore, early childhood education should take promoting children's comprehensive and healthy physical and mental development as the starting point, and prepare children for entering primary schools, not just limited to the training of reading, writing and arithmetic knowledge and skills.

The primary education of preschool education is incorrect.

Under the great pressure of further education, the tendency of primary school education in preschool education is becoming more and more serious. There are fewer games, more homework, more frequent exams, and the pressure of going to school is passed on to children.

The signs of early childhood education in primary schools have already appeared when children enter the park. In order to screen high-quality students and gain an advantage in the fierce industry competition, many kindergartens constantly raise the threshold for admission, and children aged 2 or 3 begin to learn to count, recite poems, write and remember words.

After entering kindergarten, the tendency of primary school is more obvious. It is reported that at the request of parents, a kindergarten in Hexi District of Tianjin began to teach children to add and subtract three digits vertically, which is a course for the second grade of primary school.

"Orange, stool, sauce, lotus root and ink", which were originally learned in the third grade of primary school, also appeared in "500 words before school". On a small blackboard in a kindergarten in Harbin, the children's homework to be completed at the weekend is written: copying the ancient poem "Thinking of a Quiet Night" three times and reciting the Chinese phonetic alphabet. Parents give 20 abdication subtraction questions.

One of the consequences of this kind of early childhood education is that children (especially boys) are afraid of going to school from the beginning and hate learning. At an age when they should play games, sing, dance, draw, run around, play around and fantasize.

Children must sit down and study, read and write in an appropriate way. This will make them feel bored, even a punishment, thus losing interest in learning and feeling bored with school.
