TFA’s Perception of Early Childhood Learning
The National Academy of Sciences (2001) states that “what happens during the first months and years of a child’s life matters greatly, not because this period of development provides an indelible blueprint for adult well-being, but because it establishes either a sturdy or fragile foundation for what follows next during the academic journey’’. The Tech Foundation Academy’s perceptions of early childhood learning align with the above assertions.
It is observed that childhood is a time of fun, warmth, exploration, and discovery. Early learning programs and environments should aim to cultivate and nurture these qualities in every early childhood learner. This is a weighty responsibility that falls on everyone within the education domain. This is why governments, education policymakers, school administrators, teachers, and parents need to support and create safe, enabling learning environments based on developmentally appropriate early learning guidelines that foster the intellectual and physical growth of each child. The types of foundations built during the early learning stage are what the child takes with them. The latter exemplifies the crisis in our educational sector. This is why school administrators, teachers, education policymakers, and parents need to wake up and act to bring about changes in the classroom that benefit our early learners. In the next discussion, we will begin to look at the role of each stakeholder in the transformation process.
I agree with your views. We need to recalibrate.
