early childhood learning and foundation program in design education

ABSTRACT

Foundation program in design/architecture and early childhood

education are similar in many ways. Both are about 'foundations' and

need to be very sensitively handled and proper time should be allowed

for formation and strengthening of aptitude, attitude and skills. This

also demands not just time but also proper space- physical and

psychological.

Both are about childlike qualities. One is for retaining and the other

is for regaining. In fact foundation studies are like a second birth

and the womb needs to be sensitively handled.

We mess up in both situations as the need for foundation is the proof

that we haven't handled the 'early childhood education' well.

Children are born to learn and our job is to ensure that their ability

to learn is retained. But we teach, instruct, control, coerce, and

test and mess it up. In fact we 'give' freedom and mess them up

psychologically forever.
