Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal(正规的)teaching and care of young children.It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage the child's different kinds of development. 1
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children's learning and development.Compared to a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills.They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so. 2 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children's peers(同伴).
3 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity.What's more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated(综合)as an adult.
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years.It is clear that early childhood education can have some great benefits for children. 4 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years.Also important is considering a child's own personality. 5
A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.
B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.
C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.
D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.

F.Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.
G.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.
