This is the digital age.
A child of age four picks up an iPad and starts a game. Although this isn’t really a game, but rather, it’s a digital learning session. A friendly voice from the iPad says, click on the word bake, which is colored red. The child selects a word, and the voice on the other side says in affirmation, “Correct, good job.” The child smiles and moves to the next learning chapter.
Research confirms that the quality of education and learning received by children in their early years of childhood is essential for their overall development. Children who received high-quality, practical knowledge-based learning in their formative years are less likely to fail in high-school.
Overall, pre-k learning is imperative because the first few years of childhood offer excellent opportunities towards laying a solid advanced learning foundation. When that window is closed, the opportunities decrease, and educational success becomes harder.
