Abstract


The preschool age represents a critical period of rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial development in children. The quality and intensity of the care, nutrition, and stimulation that children receive during this time largely determine the level of physical and cognitive development they can achieve. This paper examines the potential challenges and learning opportunities that self-directed learning environments offer teachers from the perspective of teaching safety education in early childhood education. The challenges facing the early childhood education sector in the country today are the lack of educational facilities in schools, the lack of a structured curriculum, inadequate funding and the quality of teacher training and qualifications. This white paper addresses these challenges. Suggestions have been made to address these issues.
