EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SET II

How to Determine a Child's Early Childhood Development

The Licensure Examination for Teachers or LET is the most taken board examination administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to determine the future of an education student in the teaching world. Remember, only those who pass the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LET) are allowed to practice the teaching profession within the territory of the Philippines. 

Early childhood refers to the period between birth and eight years of age, wherein a child’s brain is susceptible to the environment around them. This “remarkable growth” time requires a specialized educational approach to ensure that children learn vital skills and foundational concepts to prepare them for later life. 

 

Early childhood education is focused on the critical developmental milestones, skills, and concepts that children attain during this period of their lives, from social-emotional skills to the beginnings of numeracy, literacy, and critical thinking.
