The teaching to youthful brain is the good initiative to prepare children for the learning

parents and youngster to see the significance of providing the inspiring as well as thrilling
opportunities to the youngsters. The early childhood education is very important because it
provides the learning experience to children. The early childhood education is considered as the
area of educational theory. In the following parts, meaning and significance of early childhood
education, and its history in America is discussed as well as critically examined.
The early childhood education is a broader expression, which is used to define the
educational programs to serve kids during the pre-school, before they are old enough to come in
playgroup (McCoy, et. al, 2016). It can contain all the knowledge and activities that are framed
to assist in cognitive as well as social growth of preschooler prior to join the elementary school.
The early childhood education can be dissimilar from one state to another state. An early
childhood education can also vary from one school to another school in the similar state.
Additionally, the preschool education program can be framed particularly for either 3 to 4
years old children, or the five years old children. These preschool education programs can be
offered in day-care, children-care or nursery school setting, and more traditional pre-school or
pre-kindergarten class. Also, these programs can vary in term of support and funds. They can be
privately operate or ran by the confined school-system, or ran by the centrally funded programs
such as Head Start (Black, et. al, 2017).

education approached to USA with “toddler school” set up in church, industrial units, as well as
local home. This concept came to for providing children care when the parents were doing work
or job. State of Wisconsin made amendments in constitution to involve the committees dedicated
to free education of kids of the age of 4 to 20 in 1848, and in year 1873, started first 4 year old
children kindergarten program.
With passing of time, some different states also followed a lead of Wisconsin within a
area of early childhood education by day care, and preschool. The nursery programs are also
addressed in these states. Further, National Association for Education of Young Children was
developed in year 1926. The main purpose of its establishment was the welfare young children.
It puts focus on the education’s quality as well as developmental services accessible to the kids
since their birth to age of eight (Noble, et. al, 2015).
Furthermore, Head Start program was created in USA in year 1965. It is first early
childhood education initiative. This program is funded as academic initiative. It is funded by the
Department of Health and Human Service. This program is helpful for the children who belong
with the lower-socioeconomic background or who come in the specific at-risks category with
free access to the early childhood programs (Magnuson & Duncan, 2016).
Moreover, in America, various early childhood education programs are operated in
support of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Act. It is reported by the national institute that
in the school year 2012-2013, about 1.4 million American were enrolled in the state funded pre-
school programs for early education research. As a final point, the early childhood education
program can be operated by private profit making corporations, or according to the private
school curriculum, or by the church (Singer, 2017).
