5 most common misconceptions about Early Childhood Education
Age is a good measure of a child’s readiness for school
Age is not a good measure of a child’s readiness for school. Children come in all shapes and sizes, with varying levels of maturity. A child might be ready for school at four but not until six. To determine readiness for school, there are other measures to take into account besides age.
Teachers are not qualified or trained enough to teach children of this age.
Many early childhood educators are professionals with bachelor's degrees in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field. They may also have certificates in areas such as infant/toddler care, early literacy, and music education.
Children under the age of three cannot learn anything new.
While it is true that babies and toddlers are still growing and developing their own cognitive skills, they can learn new things every day! They might not be able to understand everything they see or hear, but they can learn through play with toys and other kids around them.
The older the child, the less they should be learning.
The younger the child, the more they will be learning. As children get older, their education should focus on what they are not good at. The best series of books for teaching an older child would be one that teaches them what they need to know for life after high school.
Children under the age of five don't need school readiness programs.
Some children are born with an innate curiosity and hunger for knowledge. These children don't need formal education to be successful in life. For example, think of how many famous inventors, artists, architects, and musicians were self-taught.
