early childhood education and gender  

Definition

  • Early childhood—from birth to 8 years old—is a time of rapid physical growth, emotional and social development, and the acquisition of the fundamental building blocks for future academic success. It is also a time for self-discovery, including the perceptions and attitudes that define gender roles and gender identities.
