Early Life and Education

The first three years of life are one of the most crucial periods for brain development. They provide the foundations for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health and strong communities.

Early childhood education (ECE) refers to all activities and services that guide the growth and development of young children before they enter kindergarten. These programs are usually delivered by adults, such as parents, daycare providers, babysitters and teachers.

UNESCO believes that high-quality ECE is one of the best investments countries can make to promote holistic development, gender equality and social cohesion. The science behind the importance of ECE is based on decades of neuroscience and behavioral research. Using this knowledge, public policymakers can support a strong start to a child’s life. Currently, early childhood education is the focus of numerous initiatives, including Head Start and the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge tenet.
