Best Age for Children to Begin Free and Universal Organized Educational
Experiences.
Kids usually need an early start for pre-school education, which may serve as the best
strategy in shaping the children’s education and the nation’s future. According to my research,
the ideal age for children to begin accessible and universally organized educational experiences
in our country should be three years. At this age, the kids will learn various things that will aid
their development, thus improving their later school performance.
Based on my research, I picked three years since I found it the most suitable. Typically,
the keys to academic success for children may not be better-prepared teachers, small class sizes,
more accountability, a more excellent choice, or tougher standards-acclaimed as these goals may
be. They may instead hinge on a single factor which is preschool. Often, many children come to
school ill-prepared to learn because of their family environments. These kids lack language
skills, motivation, and social skills. For example, Superintendent John Jordan reports that 5-year-
old children in oxford sometimes enroll in kindergarten while still not knowing their names
(Sawhill, 2016). Preschool at the age of 3 years will assist in all these situations.
At the age of 3, these kids will socialize extra, providing children with appropriate
experiences before they enter school. The early learning experience will meet the needs of the
students in advancing their language and communication skills, social skills, thus improving their
later school performance. The benefits of this early schooling will diminish the risk of social-
emotional mental health problems and increase self-sufficiency as the kids mature.

Several factors in preschool would best meet kids' educational and development needs.
First, the schooling environment plays a critical role in a child's development as it represents the
sum of total psychological and physical stimulation received by the child. Second is the exercise
and health factor achieved through engaging the children in physical activities, which will assist
the children's growth. Learning and reinforcement is another factor that would meet development
needs (Arora, 2021). It is concerned with structuring the child mentally, emotionally, socially, and
intellectually to operate as healthy functional individuals in society. Reinforcement is the
learning component where activity is refined and repeated to solidify the lessons learned.
