Certificate Course in Pre-school Education

A child is the form of God. Education is the worship of God embodied in a child. Education is all about creating an environment for the unveiling of a child’s latent potentialities. Education is a way of inculcating Sanskars. Sanskar is a process of developing virtues in a child which calls for dissolving the vices first. The best time for the Sanskar process in life is up to 8 years from the birth; hence the best time for educating a child is also the same. Therefore the process of education during this phase of time must be molded accordingly.

National Education Policy 2020 has given special emphasis on early childhood care and education. Along with that a matter of providing education from three to eight years has been given prime importance. In the Right to Education Act, 2009 a greater emphasis was laid on primary education.
