Early childhood education can also be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. In a broad sense, all purposeful activities that can affect children's physical growth and cognitive, emotional and personality development, such as children watching TV, doing housework and participating in social activities under the guidance of adults, can be said to be early childhood education, while in a narrow sense, early childhood education refers to the education of specialized early childhood education institutions such as kindergartens.
Kindergarten education belongs to the school education system in China. Like school education, kindergarten education also has advantages that family education and social education do not have, such as planning and systematization. Kindergarten education takes kindergarten teachers as the core, and devotes itself to publicizing the policies of the party and the state on early childhood education, reflecting the achievements of research and reform in early childhood education, exchanging experiences in kindergarten, nursery and family education, introducing information on early childhood education at home and abroad, and providing information for early childhood education activities and teaching reference.
The influence of early education
Under the influence of traditional education in China, it is generally believed that early education is aimed at infants, but it is not. The essence of early education is not only for children, but also the interaction between parents and children is very important in the process of children receiving early education. Foreign early education experts have long pointed out the importance of "parent-child interaction". Parents are children's first teachers, and parents who are also educators also need to learn early education knowledge to better educate their children.
Early education experts all over the world are also committed to the research and development of scientific parent-child interaction courses. At present, some well-known foreign early education institutions are more professional in this respect, among which American early education institutions are more perfect in this respect. Many early education institutions in the United States adopt dual-mode teaching in teaching, with children and parents as the educational objects, so that parents can participate in the teaching process as much as possible and exercise children's cooperation ability and tacit understanding.
