Pre-primary education

NACE code 85.1 covers the provision of pre-primary education, which is a crucial part of the education system. This industry plays a vital role in preparing young children for formal schooling by fostering their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development. Pre-primary education lays the foundation for lifelong learning and helps children acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in their future academic and personal endeavors.

Pre-primary education typically involves a range of teaching methods and activities designed to engage young children in a stimulating and nurturing environment. Educators in this industry utilize a play-based approach, incorporating structured and unstructured play, as well as various educational activities such as storytelling, music, art, and physical exercises. The curriculum is tailored to the developmental needs of the children, with a focus on developing language, numeracy, and social skills.

The main inputs required for the pre-primary education industry include qualified and experienced teaching staff, educational materials and resources (e.g., books, toys, art supplies), and suitable facilities and infrastructure (e.g., classrooms, outdoor play areas). Additionally, this industry relies on the involvement of parents and caregivers, who play a crucial role in supporting the child's learning and development.

The primary output of the pre-primary education industry is the provision of high-quality early childhood education and care services. These services help prepare children for the transition to 85.2 Primary education and 85.3 Secondary education, laying the groundwork for their future academic success. The industry also contributes to the overall development and well-being of children, which has far-reaching impacts on 88.9 Other social work activities without accommodation, 86.1 Hospital activities, and 88.1 Social work activities without accommodation for the elderly and disabled.
