EP 520 : Early Years Education: Why The First Five Years Matter With Zarna Doshi, Co-Founder Of Little Palms

What really matters in the first five years of a child’s life? Is preschool simply preparation for school, or is there much more to early childhood education?

In this episode of the Kidsstoppress Podcast, Mansi Zaveri speaks with Zarna Doshi, Co-Founder of Little Palms, about early childhood education, child development and the importance of the 0–5 years.

From the first 1000 days and play-based learning to school readiness, social-emotional development, language, curiosity and independence, this conversation explores what young children actually need to learn and thrive.

We also unpack the idea that “pre-school isn’t Lalaland” and look at what meaningful preschool education should really look like.

• What children need from 0–5 years
• Preschool vs early academics
• Why play is essential for learning
• School readiness and child development
