Early Life and Education

Early childhood is a pivotal period in children’s development – this time allows them to make important social skills, build self-esteem, shape their perception of the world and form moral principles. This period provides them with an unparalleled window of opportunity to shape social skills, self-worth, perception of values and outlook on life.

The development of these skills can result in improved educational outcomes, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health and strong communities – the foundations UNESCO believes will enable the achievement of its Sustainable Development Goals.

Early childhood education is the combination of formal and informal instruction that fosters a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth before school begins. These experiences are greatly shaped by factors such as family support, quality childcare facilities and the child’s environment.
