Education is a systematic process of establishing the pillar of the society. Its brings up an empty mind with awareness. Early childhood education (ECE) is a branch of education theory which relates to the teaching of young children (formally and informally) up till the age of about eight years. Its time of remarkable brain growth, these years lay the foundation for subsequent learning and development. The primary completion rate in Pakistan, given by Data Centre of UNESCO, is 33.8% in females and 47.18% in males, which shows that people in the 6th largest country of the world are unable to get the basic education.
Various Researches have proved that first few years of life are particularly important as vital development in all domains and learning occur faster in these years than at any other time. The main challenging to the implementation of ECE in Pakistan is that the negative impact of limited access to education and its poor quality is disproportionately born by poor and marginalized children as well as families surviving in poverty tend to focus on keeping fed; rather than education. Other developmental domains such as psycho-social, emotional and physical skill are mostly neglected. Same as, early years are significantly important for cognitive abilities and the development of the brain capacity of a child as well.
Pre-school and child care centres play very important role in promoting the social and intellectual development of children. In this world, every child needs early childhood education before he/ she is going to attend kindergarten Moreover, through early childhood education child can easily develop his interpersonal skills through his interaction and the particular environment. Research has shown that if the healthy environment is provided to the children, they can learn at faster pace. Teachers play important role in the whole process. They must be familiarize and should have sound qualification to fulfil learning needs of children. If teachers are familiarized with principles of love, kindness and care, they can easily teach students at primary level with the help of different pedagogies. However, professionally more trained people can educate the people to build a good nation.
