Early Life and Education
Early childhood is an incredibly critical period in a child’s development. This is when they form social skills, self-worth and an understanding of the world around them.
In addition to family lessons, children gain invaluable knowledge from their peers and educators. That is why so many initiatives are made to enhance education during this crucial period.
National University’s Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education (BAECE) program serves as an excellent example. According to assistant professor Laura Alvarado, students complete at least five hours of field experience during their tenure in the program.
She explains that students enrolled in her course “Play as Pedagogy” often observe play with young children inside the classroom to gain insight into how play can be used as an effective form of learning and how to incorporate it into their lesson plans.
