The Importance of Preschool Education
Preschool period is the fastest and most important period of human cognitive development, which plays a very important role in the development of human cognitive ability throughout life. Research shows that babies have great learning potential. For example, babies can engage in various learning activities when they are three months old. 1 year-old babies can learn to recognize the number, size, shape, color and orientation of objects. Children have strong imitation, imagination and creativity. Preschool period is also a crucial period for the development of individual psychology in many aspects.
In the critical period, it is easy for individuals to learn or form behaviors about certain knowledge and experience, but if they miss this period, it will be difficult, sometimes even impossible, to make up for it later. It is found that 2 ~ 3 years old is a critical period for individual oral development. 4 ~ 6 years old is the best time for children to visually recognize images and form shape perception. Five to five and a half years old is the best age to master the concept of numbers. 5 ~ 6 years old is the period when children's ability to master vocabulary develops fastest.
At the same time, early childhood is also a critical period for the formation of important non-intellectual qualities such as curiosity, thirst for knowledge, imagination and creativity. The quality of preschool education is also directly related to whether children can form correct learning attitude, good learning habits and strong learning motivation, which has a great influence on individual cognitive development and lifelong learning.
