Human development is a lifelong process beginning from birth and extending to death. In this essay, I will be covering early childhood development, particularly preschool period.
“The Pre-school period refers to those years between the ages of 3 and 5. Children of preschool age refine the mastery of their bodies and have increasing emotional, psychosocial and cognitive capacity to meet formal educational challenges.

By this age pre-schooler are able to make friends and express their emotions. They become independent and build interest to experience something new, they can now dress and undress, and play mom and dad role during plays.

Kohanga fully depends on the family to engage in the daily activities that help the children to develop and learn. The family is also part of the management, operation and decision making for the Kohanga. By having family around while learning
