Early Education for Children

Education is something that is very important in human life. Not only

children, adolescents, adults, parents also cannot be separated from education.
Because in essence, education will be attached to humans from birth until they
die. When we hear the word "education", we are always synonymous with matters
relating to school, university or other things. Though education is not limited to
schools or institutions. It is just a formalization. Education can come from the
environment or the daily life of an individual. Like the advice of a mother to her
children. It is also an education.

Especially for a child. At the age of children, especially at the age of under
three years (toddlers) is the age where a child is incessantly seeking out something
new in his life. At that age, it is arguably the golden age. Children absorb as much
information as possible.

Early childhood education is the provision of efforts to stimulate, guide,

nurture and provide learning activities that will produce children's abilities and
skills. Early childhood education is a form of education that focuses on laying the
foundation for physical growth and development (fine and gross motor
coordination), intelligence, creativity, emotional intelligence, and spiritual
intelligence.

The importance of education for children includes stimulating children's

motoric or skills, developing children's creativity, making children learners,
making children one step ahead of children who are not introduced to education,
increasing socialization to children.
 When the child learns something new, new nerve fiber connections will
form in the brain. This is known as the neural pathway. By instilling early
education in children, one of them makes children able to develop their skills and
hone deeper in the right brain. Children who are taught or introduced to the
importance of early education will have a positive impact by letting children
explore what they want to know, so that children can be more creative in finding
out something new according to their experiences.

For children who do not know education from an early age, this is a step
forward. It does not guarantee that those who take education from an early age
will be more successful. However, introducing education from an early age can
make children one step ahead in terms of knowledge compared to children who
are left without education from an early age. By introducing early education,
children can further develop their socialization to others, especially with their
friends. Because they learn by meeting various people, so they can provoke
children's social attitudes. By implementing early education, children are better
able to explore the outside world so that they can train the right and left brains in
balancing knowledge, hone motor skills or skills and socialization that build
cooperation.
