Early childhood education is a broad term used to describe any type of educational program that serves children in their preschool years, before they are of legal age to enter kindergarten. Early childhood education may consist of any number of activities and experiences designed to aid in the cognitive and social development of preschoolers before they enter elementary school. How and where early childhood education is provided can be very di erent from one state, or even one program, to the next. Early childhood education programs may be designed for three-, four-, or ve-year olds, and they may be provided in childcare, daycare, nursery school, preschool, or pre-kindergarten settings. Early childhood special education teachers work with toddlers and other young learners who require help with disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Physical education teachers who work with students with disabilities create programs and activities best suited to their needs.
