How Early Childhood Education Develops Skills for Daily Life with Sharon Lytwynec

The Mark White Show

Innovative early education providers are prioritizing topics beyond traditional ABCs by teaching life skills to prepare children for their future. Most parents appreciate this approach. A survey from national child care provider Kiddie Academy found that 62% of parents prioritize learning soft skills under the age of 8. Parents and teachers agree that a strong early childhood curriculum with embedded life skills will help develop children beyond the classroom. Research supports the importance of “transfer learning,” where children apply skills in different contexts at home and other settings. On tonight’s show, we’re focusing on how early childhood education develops skills for daily life. Joining me will be Sharon Lytwynec, Kiddie Academy Life Essentials Curriculum Advisory Council Member.
