Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) aims at the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs in order to build a strong and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. It contributes to improvement in enrolment, retention, self-confidence and learning level of children in formal schooling. The present paper analyses the objectives of the ECCE and the management, interventions on ECCE concerning effective early learning, curriculum design, development and implementation. In the State, the pre- school facilities available under ECCE cover less than half of the child population. ECCE and AWC interventions are found to have positive impact on children’s learning achievement in mathematics and language and educational competencies in general as compared to children not exposed to pre-school education. The study has suggested the role of dedicated and trained teachers, improvement in curriculum, school infrastructure, development of teacher’s capability on child right perspectives, integrating technological development in education with traditional and folk literature etc. for smooth transition of children from ECCE to primary school.
