First, the importance of preschool education to children's development
In recent years, preschool education has received universal attention from all countries in the world, especially the developed countries, which are in the forefront of the world in economy and science and technology, have paid unprecedented attention to preschool education. And actively invest in institutional construction and improve the quality of children's education in the park. The strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" implemented by China government since the 18th National Congress highlights that preschool education can not be ignored. Preschool education is bound to become an important part of China's future education system and the "cornerstone" of China's basic education, which is of great significance to consolidating and consolidating the achievements of compulsory education and improving the overall quality of our citizens and society. In today's competition between knowledge and science and technology, the development of early childhood education has already become a hot spot that all countries in the world attach great importance to, people care about and society pays attention to. Some scholars pointed out: "Preschool education is related to the long-term development of children's health, sociality, emotion and cognition. High-quality preschool education is not only beneficial to children's development and their families, but also has important social value. "
The fastest and most important period of human cognition development is in early childhood. Therefore, exerting influence on people's understanding through early education will certainly play a fundamental role in their life growth. Studies have shown that "the development of human brain is inversely proportional to the growth of age. Obviously, the first few years of life are a good opportunity to learn quickly, improve and develop good habits. " Children in early childhood develop rapidly and have great learning potential and "plasticity". If we want to turn this plasticity into reality, we can provide an excellent environment suitable for children's development for education and exert influence through education. Secondly, the sooner we intervene in children's cognitive development, the more obvious the effect and influence will be. If it's the opposite, you can see it. At the same time, the quality of early childhood education intervention is also very important. If it is not quality intervention, it may sometimes be counterproductive. Therefore, the intervention on the quality of preschool education is bound to have a great impact on the cognitive formation and future learning development of preschool children.
Second, the significance of preschool education for the development of education
As the foundation of China's education system, preschool education has become the forefront of education, which is bound to have a far-reaching impact on the overall development of China's education, especially the rural education system. At present, all countries in the world attach great importance to early childhood education and have taken various positive measures. Under the historical background that all countries give priority to preschool education, we must attach importance to preschool education in order to implement the strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" and vigorously promote quality education, and China's national conditions determine its key target-the countryside. That is, the early childhood education base should focus on rural areas and give priority to the development of rural preschool education.
China's urban preschool education has initially formed a system, while rural preschool education is in its infancy in terms of institutions and systems. Only by helping rural children prepare for compulsory education (such as adaptability, good habits, manners, etc.). ), they can enter the primary school stage in a good state of standardized and systematic learning.
3. The value of preschool education to the development of individual families and the whole society.
Early childhood education is not only of great significance to the physical and mental development of young children, but also to their lifelong growth and the development of education itself, and also plays an important role in the happiness of individual families and the development and progress of society. In China, most families only have one child, so children's education will eventually become an indicator of the future happiness and harmony of this family. The success or failure of children's education directly affects every family, and the success or failure of rural children's early education has a great influence on the development of the whole society. As the initial stage and critical period of children's socialization, preschool education will lay the foundation for the formation of children's emotions, attitudes, behaviors, personalities and personalities regardless of the environment, people and things they are exposed to.
Children receiving high-quality early education at the age of 3-5 will affect the formation of children's individual behavior, personality habits, social skills, healthy personality, social responsibility and other important characteristics. On the contrary, it will easily make children form negative social and personality qualities, and there are significant differences between rural and urban areas in this respect. With the country's attention and promotion of preschool education, rural peasant families have gradually attached importance to children's education, which has greatly promoted the enrollment rate of rural children. This puts high demands on the establishment and perfection of rural preschool education institutions and systems, because he not only undertakes the task of providing services for children's development and early education, but also undertakes the mission of the future development of the whole society and even the country. At present, the concern for early childhood education is not only in cities, families or individuals, but also in rural areas, which has become the core orientation of the whole society. It can be said that the negative impact of closing a kindergarten is far greater than that of closing a university.
Any harvest needs investment, and investment in early childhood education is a long-term high-return human capital investment. Some scholars believe that preschool education can not only reflect the macro value of promoting social, political, economic, cultural and talent development, but also reflect the micro value of children's individual development such as cognition, moral cultivation and sentiment cultivation. Therefore, attaching importance to and increasing the investment in preschool education, especially in rural areas, will certainly have great and far-reaching significance in promoting China's economic and social development and building a new countryside.
