2. Philosophy
The early years (0-5) are crucial for the development of an
individual and any support given at this stage helps to promote
development. This period requires people who are
knowledgeable, such as specialist caregivers and teachers.
Such people should be equipped for the task, hence the need
to train them in ECCE to be able to handle these children
effectively. Caregivers and teacher of young children therefore,
should possess such qualities as enthusiasm, kindness,
gentleness and tolerance.
