The session featured a combination of expert sharing, hands-on workshops, and interactive Q&A, ensuring that students gained practical skills in observing, assessing, and communicating children’s developmental progress. Research shows that teachers with hands-on experience in early childhood settings are 70% more confident in applying developmental theories to real-life scenarios, making initiatives like this invaluable.
Students actively engaged in discussions and demonstrations, reinforcing their understanding of developmental milestones from birth to six years old. With early childhood education recognised as a key driver of lifelong learning and social equity, hands-on exposure is vital in preparing educators who can provide high-quality early education. Studies indicate that children who receive quality early childhood education are 25% more likely to perform well academically later in life.
Collaboration with specialist organisations like Klinik Kenit enhances students’ industry knowledge and real-world competencies, ensuring that they graduate with the confidence and expertise needed to support child development effectively. These experiences not only strengthen the role of early childhood educators but also contribute to a more informed, inclusive, and supportive approach to early learning.
By sowing the seeds of knowledge today, future educators will grow into mighty trees that nurture the next generation. With early intervention and quality education playing a pivotal role in a child’s lifelong success, initiatives like this reaffirm the commitment to developing skilled, passionate, and impactful educators.
