Early childhood education should not be primary school

Recent research, several proposed kindergarten "not primary school told to" questioning, said parent document, expert talks "do not make early childhood education elementary school", but did not make it clear "what we should do." The problem that this shouldn't be a problem, several Director says it is not a small problem.

Contrary not only to the children of pre-primary education primary school knowledge and perception of law and cause serious harm to children's physical and mental health; not only serious impact on the healthy development of pre-school education, but also interfere with the normal order of teaching in primary schools. The reason is, "do not let your children at the starting line" unscientific concept questions, nursery schools cater to the needs of parents, child care arrangement of teaching materials are questions of science, there are operational guidance to management problems.

In fact, "not primary-do" already has an answer, it's the kindergarten regulations. The Statute does not give the "standards and codes" manual answer, perhaps worried that all kindergarten are the same. Singapore worried about homogenization of pre-school education, no pre-school education is included in the formal education system without express provision of pre-school education. Some developed countries did not consider early childhood education into the formal education system, also have such worries. This would require each kindergarten to statute as one of the major issues, to study and develop in line with their actual educational implementation plan.

In the Statute made it clear that kindergartens should use the games as an important form of all-round development education to children. Because, in the happy games, children's balance between ability and language skills, ability to communicate, manual operation, observation skills can be trained. This is determined by the child's specific age determined by the physical and mental characteristics.

Not ahead of learn small learn knowledge, many parents worried children from kindergarten to primary school of transition not smooth, actually, important of is not knowledge transition, but about consciousness of training, such as: time consciousness, let children know upper and lower class of time; task consciousness, let children know how completed a items work; rules consciousness, because primary school is class education, has time limit, so to comply with discipline.

Don't let primary school are not learning the knowledge, is the key way to gain knowledge and the role is different. For example, the autumn led children to pick up a variety of leaves in the Park, know the shape, color, size, number, classification, and so on, this is a learning; for example, write, not write as much, but a painting really serious attitude and habits. Learning Knowledge carrier, to use this carrier develop good character, habits, this is the essential requirement for early childhood education.
