IMPROVING QUALITY OF EARLY EDUCATION: ADOPTING PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN PRACTICES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION

Abstract

The importance of education in shaping the future of individuals and societies is well-documented [[1]]. Education, particularly in the early years, plays a crucial role in cognitive, emotional, and social development. That is why early education, especially at the kindergarten level, is being fundamental in building good habits, basic moral qualities, and a sense of curiosity and learning in children. Studies have shown that high-quality early education has a greater importance to the improved social and cognitive outcomes for children than the first year of schooling, influencing everything from academic achievement to emotional intelligence and social behavior.
