Preschool Education

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Preschool education is a discipline of early childhood education. The theory of education involves small teaching children ranging in age from infancy to five or six years old. Preschool education is an important period for children's development and contributes to the development of children's personality. In recent years, preschool education has become a common public policy issue in countries around the world.
Teachers of preschool education need to be creative and adaptable. They must think beyond their mature perspective and be able to put themselves in the student's perspective. Patience, creativity, sensitivity, communication skills and the ability to connect with children can be said to be some of the most important qualifications.
Excellent preschool education teachers adapt to the emotional response of students. When it comes to your students' interactions with other children, this may be the first time they interact with their children of this age. When a child shares or learns how to get along, the role of the teacher often becomes the role of a mediator. Working with children requires patience, dedication and sensitivity. Trying to keep up with them can be exhausting, but if you can cope with the challenges, it will also bring great rewards.
