Abstract
This article explores the significance and benefits of kindergarten education in the early developmental stages of children. Kindergarten serves as the foundation for a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth. The study highlights how play-based learning, social interaction, and structured educational environments contribute to lifelong learning skills.
Furthermore, it examines the role of teachers, parents, and the education system in fostering a supportive atmosphere that enhances creativity, discipline, and social awareness among children.
