Abstract
This paper explores the significance and implementation of aesthetic education in early childhood education, highlighting its potential to enhance children's creativity, emotional expression, and cognitive development. Through a review of existing literature and the development of a conceptual framework, the study addresses the challenges of integrating aesthetic education, such as inadequate teacher training and rigid curricula. The findings emphasize the critical role of aesthetic activities in fostering holistic child development, including social, emotional, and cognitive growth. The paper concludes by advocating for systemic changes in educational practices and policies to fully realize the benefits of aesthetic education, ultimately contributing to the development of well-rounded, creative, and empathetic individuals.
