Accounts and Thoughts of Overage Children: A Qualitative Study on the Physical and Emotional Environment of Preschools in Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract: Children are brought up in diverse yet specific physical and social environments formally regarded as preschool centres; they are engaged from preschool age in activities where their development is affected by an array of social factors. Some of these factors are natural while some are measures of external circumstances, which if neglected may endanger proper child care, learning and development at the early years. As the child's age stands as one of such natural factors that can't be tampered with, literature… Show more

“…Literature abounds that children's school performance is also facilitated by teachers who provide high levels of instruction support, measured through interactions, both in preschool and throughout the primary grades (Burchinal et al, 2014;Connor, 2014;Johnson et al, 2016).

These interactions eventually have a signi cant role in developing their cognition, which measures their mental health (Kaliska, 2019;Amosun, 2012).…”
