There is growing interest in the importance of early childhood education up to the age of six worldwide. Waiting for the public compulsory education to lower the starting age can take a long time, so why not start giving education to the children, who will bear the future of your country, yourself?

Academic Information

The results of 30-40 years of study from the 1970s has clearly shown that education up to the age of 6 influences the rest of life. A paper that was published by James J. Heckman, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2000, has captured a lot of attention.

Characteristics of the business

• Children from the age of 0 can be subjected to this education programme. There is a method that is commonly used worldwide as the base of education to give stimulation to infants’ brain growth. Copel is in compliance with the method.
• It is said that infants can only focus on things for “their age + 1” minutes.

Infants need a programme that they can stay interested in every minute, and they are not interested in the same things. That’s why Copel has developed 2000 different types of teaching materials.

• The Japanese teaching materials will be edited and translated according to the lifestyle and language of each country.
• Copel has its unique teacher training method.
• A large part of the initial investment will be spent on editing and translating the teaching materials and the teacher training.

Unicef  said

Necessity of the early childhood education

In a short 36 months, children develop their abilities to think and speak, learn and reason and lay the foundation for their values and social bahaviour as adults.

 

 

Brain Development

It’s said that the brain is 100% developed by the age of 12, and its capabilities are determined by the age of 6.

 

 

What is happening inside the human brain?

Children will reach their full potential if the connection between the right and left-brain are triggered and strengthened.

At Copel, we want every child to reach their full potential and succeed. Our programs focus on activating the entire brain.

 

 

When are connections made?

Connections are made in the brain when a child is fully engaged in an activity. It is said that the attention span of a child depends on their age. Most times it lasts the number of minutes of their age plus 1 more minute.

For example, a 3 year old would have an attention span of about 4 minutes. It seems as though children during early childhood are easily distracted. However they actually pay attention to many things. The young mind is constantly tuning into things and then saying,      “I understand this, what is next?” They are highly attentive, almost  to an excessive level.

 

Key Factor for success of Early Childhood Education Program

To make connections, we have researched and brushed up

High Quality and Volume of Learning Resources

Supervision and Training of Instructors

for 25 years. These two are our 「Differentiating services」

 

Early childhood education focuses long term on children between 0 through 12 years of age. Offering high quality services will lead to customer retention and letting the business grow steadily over a period of time. Satisfied customers can be expected to spread our services through word of mouth.

However, early childhood education is more complicated compared to secondary and higher education. The programs need to be fun and captivating, so that children can enjoy learning.

To realize a unique early childhood education program of high quality, it is vital for instructors to receive thorough training and supervision, so they are able to offer high levels of instruction and services.
