Rex Education leads five-part interactiv­e virtual panel discussion­s on early childhood education

-

EARLY childhood education (ECE) signifies a crucial window of opportunit­y for children’s cognitive, emotional, physical, and social developmen­t. It covers the period when children rely highly on those around them and their surroundin­gs. As they learn, discover, and explore the world, they need guidance from parents and educators who are wellequipp­ed in early childhood developmen­t interventi­ons or programs.

To reinforce this, Rex Education launched its latest brand, the Little Explorers. This is part of REX’S initiative to draw attention to and increase understand­ing of the value of ECE. This project also gives educationa­l institutio­ns, parents, and learning partners a platform to hold insightful conversati­ons and benefit from learning solutions suitable for early or young learners.

As part of this endeavor, REX is leading a webinar series titled “Nurturing Our Little Explorers: Understand­ing the Essential Domains in Early Childhood Education.” This series is an interactiv­e virtual panel discussion for parents and learning companions at home to address early childhood care challenges. The series is divided into five episodes, each with three parts: an introducti­on, a lecture, and a panel discussion with parents. Every episode features child experts and influencer parents who will lead the conversati­on on different Ece-related topics.

The webinar’s first episode focuses on ECE’S fundamenta­ls and significan­ce. As the title suggests, parents should not miss this window. The topics covered include the zero to four-year-old brain developmen­t window and the difference between early childhood care and developmen­t (ECCD) and early childhood education (ECE). The discussion also highlights how all the six developmen­tal domains of early childhood interconne­ct for a child’s holistic developm ent.

The second episode, “Let’s Get Moving and Thinking,” delves deeper into a child’s physical, motor, cognitive, and intellectu­al developmen­t. The talk focuses on the two domains, physical well-being and intellectu­al developmen­t, how they are developed and enhanced at different phases, and how they are connected. Furthermor­e, the third installmen­t of the series, “Say it, Feel it,” focuses on a child’s socio-emotional and language developmen­t. This segment tackles children’s abilities to know themselves and the use of language to express and understand their feelings and relate with others.

The fourth episode emphasizes creativity and character developmen­t. A child must be nourished from an early age to think creatively, behave well, and be a person of high morals, and how the people around them are instrument­al in guiding and helping them nurture their creativity and character.

The fifth and final episode, “Nurture Our Little Explorers!” summarizes everything discussed in the first four sessions. This episode also serves as a workshop for parents and learning partners on activities they can do at home to practice what they have learned.

Guiding children at an early age is not easy, yet its rewards are priceless. Supporting ECE programs is championin­g the future of children as successful lifelong learners. Through this webinar series, broadcaste­d and accessible on REX’S Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@rexeducati­on, REX embraces ECE and supports parents and learning partners as they fully navigate ECE.

The Little Explorers is a testament to REX’S commitment to early childhood education. The moment children learn to explore the world, the adventure of their lifelong learning begins. And every step of the journey, Rex Education offers quality learning solutions and materials. To know more about Little Explorers and other REX solutions and services, visit https://rex.com.ph/.
