Nelson Mandela once said. "Education is the great engine to personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that the child of a farm worker can become the president of a great nation."
The truth of this assertion can not be fully appreciated when the enormous importance of preschool education. The famous Japanese violin teacher and educator Shinichi Suzuki, once expressed a truth well when he said, "The destiny of children lies in the hands of their parents." The management and the quality of this target is largely in place - the parents - in the first seven years of the child.
A study conducted by High / Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan, demonstrated the significant value of early learning. From 1962-1967, was 123 African Americans, ages 3 and 4 and those born into poverty in old age, and therefore a high risk of school failure, then were randomized into two groups. One group was exposed to a quality preschool program, while the control group was not exposed to the kindergarten programs. The program that the experimental group was exposed to the era of High / Scope 's active learning approach. In the last phase of the study, 95% of participants in the age of 27 years were interviewed. Additional data were obtained from school subjects, social services and arrest reports. The main results of this study were:

The main results of this study were:
- Nearly a third of many of the preschool program, but only those with no preschool exposure (71% vs 54%) of regular school or an adult who have completed, or certificate of education to visit the opposition.
- At the age of 27, four times more frequently than in the pre-exposed to programs that received no preschool exposure (29% vs 7%) $ 2,000 or more per month and also scored higher on the other part of the house, and parking.
- At the age of 27, only a fifth of many preschoolers, the show itself, but only those with no preschool exposure (7% vs 35%), however, was five times or more , and fewer arrests have been arrested for drug trafficking under the group of preschool program. (7% vs 25%).
- The rate was the proportion of births outside marriage in the group receiving exposure in the kindergarten. (57% vs 83%)
There is a proverb that you're never too old to learn. This is only partially true. In fact, there are some aspects of learning that are acquired effectively in the first seven years of life. Parents who love their children a proper education in preschool, therefore, be careful to focus on aspects of learning. Some of the most important of these skills and learning issues are discussed below.
Language
Knowledge of the language has to be an important predictor of reading ability. It is therefore important that parents should do their utmost to ensure that your child the best opportunities for language acquisition is replaced, especially the fact that before the age of seven, a child phenomenal ability to learn the language. From the age of eight, is the child's ability to learn the language like that of an adult. Therefore, it is very unwise, if not use the parents, the enormous opportunity that comes only once in the life of every child, and only for a short period of time.
Parents should talk to their toddler as often and as much as possible to speak. The youngest child is exposed to the language, things quickly, you begin to understand speech, and then start talking. It is important that once a day should be reserved for reading stories and / or tell stories. However, it is important that the same story told or read again and again every day. The same story should be read to the child for several months before a new story is introduced. New story is also played again and again for many months.
Effective language acquisition is based on extensive repetition of the same words, phrases and linguistic structures.
Concentration
The concentration is as much an act of will and a learned skill. For this reason, it is important that parents ensure that children opportunities enough to get this ability to practice, you can sit and concentrate for at least 20 minutes or longer if you go to school. For about two years, parents can start reading stories to children. However, it is important that the child to sit and listen to has the story. Can not run or play his reading. These parents need to start with a short story about five minutes, then increase over time. In this way, the attention span of children are gradually extended.
Work Attitude
The idea of school readiness is a concept widely accepted. However, the preparation for employment is probably more important than school readiness. There was a trend in recent decades to try to make learning fun. This is without doubt one of the reasons for failure are a lot to learn in the world today, because learning is not fun. Naturally, learning can often be very interesting, and it can even be enjoyable. In addition, there are still aspects of the learning that are neither interesting nor pleasant. But not a few. It is very important to teach a child that has work to do, and make the best of their abilities - both aspects of the work that is not interesting or entertaining. A child whose parents refuse him the convey, he faces a future very hard and difficult.
Coordination
Today, two common symptoms of children with learning difficulties and reading, is that they have low muscle tone and never explored. Both problems can be avoided in a simple and easy.
Low muscle tone is only an indication of weak muscle strength, and a child only a trace of their parents, if you want to learn. Children can not do what they have learned to do.
The whole body strength is largely determined by the strength of back muscles. The muscles are still weak, if not exercised. Parents need early in their lives, their children the chance to train your muscles, especially the back muscles. This can begin work immediately in a month or two.
After a simple process, parents can prepare the ground for their children later, a good coordination and strong muscles. For a month, or if the baby should be allowed to spend as much time as possible to be on the floor in the prone position. The baby lifts his head, and it will develop a strong back muscles. Stay in this position the baby is trying to crawl continue to encourage it to start it.
Later, when the child is a little larger, can hand-eye coordination for throwing games and catch the boys will be developed with a bag of beans or beads. Fine motor skills can, in preparation for good writing by the papers deformation child be developed. Start by breaking the pages of a traditional telephone directory, and give the child one page at a time, crush into a ball with one hand.
Body Parts
The great German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) said, "do not see things as they are, but as we are." This claim to axiomatic that we humans and interpret the world based on inside our body. Because everything blue for people with blue lenses, our perception of the world through the knowledge of one's body is colored. The boy, insufficient knowledge of the body, is prone to misinterpret the world around him.
An example of this view, the phenomenon of inversion. Our body has a right and left. It is therefore inevitable that we are all objects which we interpret as two prejudices. Where can the child is very familiar with their own bias is a real danger of unilateralism misinterpret other things - such as B and D, for example.
Bath time to teach young children is an excellent opportunity for the parts of the body of bias. Once the child to sit in a position, even in the bathroom, should begin the training. Not only will small and brambles, which, instead of the hand and then say: "Give me the right foot and wait until the child instead of his right foot in his hand when he gives his left foot, for example." No , right foot, and then just rub your feet. Then another place name in part, to the left or right, clean and. Thus, through the various body parts, each of them - if any - left and right.
If a parent continue to do this every night for two or three years, the child is not likely to uncertainties on the left and right or body image. The effect of this, including the child will have no difficulty in distinguishing between B and D.
Counting
Counting can be seen as the language of mathematics. It is therefore important to teach a child early in life, to have them. The best way to teach a child to start counting with the fingers, first with the fingers of one hand and both hands. Remember, like everything else, it takes many repetitions.
Colors
Color is another very important need and very easy to teach children early in life. It is important to start teaching the basic colors first, white, black, red, green, blue and yellow. Again repetition is necessary. One can, for example, play with colors, for example, "Put all the yellow blocks in the Green Zone."
