          Early childhood is an important stage in life. The experiences learned in this stage establish a profound influence on child‘s personality formation, intellectual development, and interpersonal relationships etc.. Each child is unique. They have their own characteristics, interests, potential and needs. Each of them should be loved and respected.

This helps children develop their whole person; spiritually, physically, intelligently, linguistically, emotionally, cooperatively, and creatively.
