About the Project

Early Childhood is acknowledged as the most crucial period in a person’s life, when the rate of development is very high and foundations are laid for cumulative lifelong learning and human development. There is growing scientific evidence that the development of the brain in the early years is a pathway that affects physical and mental health, learning and behavior throughout the life cycle. Early Childhood Care and Education is an indispensable foundation for lifelong learning and development, and has critical impact on success at the primary stage of education. Every child has the right to access mother tongue based multilingual early childhood education in the early stage or in the preschool centre. The child begins to think and express its thoughts and feelings only in the mother tongue. Mother tongue is the natural and most appropriate medium for communicating with the child for holistic development. Cognitive development of the child is not possible if the child doesn’t get the suitable environment to learn. While teaching a child of 3 to 6 years it is very important for the teacher to communicate with the Child in his or her mother tongue. Considering the above statements there are multiple service provisions at the state and central government level to provide the service for holistic development of the young children.
