There is a marked difference in the way young children develop their concepts. Experiences are necessary to develop these concepts. The cognitive, motor and affective domain needs to be nurtured in the most natural and playful ways. this is possible and will be effective in the long term as children learn how to learn in this age. Children follow similar developmental sequence for attaining milestones. This is why the pedagogy needs to be similar no matter where the children are living.
