Reiterating the strong need to train, educate and upgrade the skill sets of teachers in the Preschool segment, Ms Manjit Legha said, “It is an undisputed fact that early childhood educationis the foundation of all future learning and development for children. Childhood is the most important time for brain development as the capacity for a child to absorb conceptsand learn is the highest during 0 to 8 years of age. Early care has a decisive, long lasting impact on how children develop, their social and cognitive skills, their ability to learn, their capacity to regulate their own emotions. Preschool education is the first big step for a child outside home. This is where children are exposed to a structured curriculum for the first time. A high quality preschool environment creates a joy for learning and provides the child self-confidence that results in a holistic personality development.”
