Education in the early years of an infant’s life significantly impacts brain development and behavior.
However, children like to play, and the conventional teaching methods may seem suffocating to them at times. They love to learn while playing, and a preschool can create a suitable learning environment for kids of varying ages.
In an early education center, the role of a male educator is as important as the role of a female educator. The early education centers have significant imparity in the number of male and female educators since female teachers are believed to be more nurturing than male educators.
This quality is considered paramount when educating toddlers or kids in playgroup kindergarten. However, it is essential to have male and female educators in a preschool or child care center to maintain a balanced learning environment.
According to the NCAC (National Childcare Accreditation Council), children benefit from having male educators in their schools.
- It becomes more accessible for the children to develop their gender identity in the presence of a male educator.
- When children develop harmonious and respectful relationships with their male teachers, they feel less apprehensive about male adults.
- Children learn to acknowledge the differences between playing with female and male educators.
- When male educators become as caring and nurturing as female educators, they project an alternative image of masculinity since masculinity is often associated with aggressiveness.
The inclusion of male educators in an early education center sends a positive message to the men interested in teaching young minds. It encourages them to regard this profession as a valued career.
Successful male educators also prove that men and women are equally capable of looking after a baby, which is the natural human response.
