The Benefits of Sending Children To School Early

Many families disagree about sending children to school before they are three years old. However, experts and studies have shown that there are indeed benefits when children go to school early. This is because the lessons they learn from these first years of life remain with them for the longest time.

Experts concluded that children make significant progress in mathematics, science, and language before their third year of life. However, there are not many public schools offering targeted education for this age group.

 

Private education is almost the same and offers only slightly more possibilities. Studies have also shown that there are not many children of three years or younger at school. Actually, the reason behind this is - it is not compulsory to send children to school from the age of three, many parents opt for this. According to the National Institute for the Evaluation of Education in Spain, there are several factors that influence the effect that education has on children who go to school early. 

The study is based on the differences between the cognitive maturity of children. You would think that children older than three are more mature. However, it has been proven that younger children can learn and absorb very complex lessons. Around this age, children should have mastered at least one linguistic structure. Moreover, they should be able to understand the elements of space, time and numerical values. Around the third year of life, a child must be able to talk, understand and make himself known. They can eat themselves and are usually clean. Depending on the home environment and their routines, they can also be able to recognize shapes, colors, and textures. In this sense, there is no essential difference between children at this stage of development who are in school or not. The researchers analyzed students from the fourth year who already went to school before their third. The study showed that these students had a significant benefit (up to 40 points). The researchers concluded that the differences showed that the children who went to school before their third year scored better.

According to the studies it is indeed advantageous to send your children to school early. Children only went to schools after their third had experienced disadvantages. Those who received education at a young age had considerable benefits.

 

This study also pointed to a shortage of educational opportunities for children of this age. Children from a more difficult socio-economic environment also face disadvantages. The study also found that younger children did not learn certain skills so quickly. They had a difficult time with more complex challenges due to a lack of experience.

 

The advantages of going to school early come mainly in the field of mathematics and language. This ensured better communication skills and better overall development. That is why it would be beneficial for all people that the educational institutions had to adjust their standards a bit. Experts recommend that more places for young students should be created. They also work towards offering more advanced programs for this age. The kindergarten should be adapted so that a foundation is laid in the area of mathematics and reading.

 Now I believe that this much information is enough to make your decision wiser.
