Author(s): Shwet Shikha Ajit Maurya
Abstract: Introducing science education during early childhood plays a pivotal role in shaping a person’s long-term learning capacity and intellectual growth. Engaging young learners with scientific concepts stimulates curiosity, boosts cognitive development, and nurtures analytical thinking. This research explores the significance of starting science education at an early age and examines its lasting effects on academic performance and future career paths. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study draws insights from diverse educational environments to evaluate effective practices, obstacles, and areas for enhancement in early science instruction. Results emphasize the importance of hands-on learning, exploratory activities, and active parental support in building scientific understanding and encouraging interest in STEM-related fields.
