An early childhood education program provides developmentally appropriate curriculum to help children develop cognitive, social, emotional, and language skills. It ensures children meet age-appropriate developmental milestones, improves school performance, sharpens thinking and attention, and lowers dropout rates. The program allows children to build relationships with other children and adults, which enhances communication, interaction, exploratory behavior, and language development while reducing problem behaviors. It also helps children make adjustments needed for formal schooling.
