3. Many people can't tell early education from preschool education. In fact, we can distinguish it better in meaning. Early education is education from birth to preschool in a broad sense, and early learning in a narrow sense. And the preschool education here is more complicated. Preschool education in a broad sense refers to education of 0-6 years old, including infant education of 0-3 years old and preschool education of 3-6 years old. Preschool education in a narrow sense is the education of 3-6 years old, that is, kindergarten education.
