Early Life and Education
Over the centuries, educational advancements and innovations have continuously altered how young children learn. This has been especially true in early childhood education.
Scholars across fields such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology and education have long been drawn to study children’s minds and behaviors. This has fostered an interdisciplinary atmosphere within this field which has informed its approach and curriculum (Morgan, 1999).
Early years are critical for children’s development and their education has a lasting effect on them. Philosophers such as John Amos Comenius, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Froebel and Maria Montessori contributed to revolutionizing child education during the Enlightenment. These pioneers laid the groundwork for many current educational practices that continue to shape today’s educational practices.
