Pre-primary education

NACE code 85.10 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, laying the foundation for their future academic and social development. Pre-primary education institutions, such as nurseries and kindergartens, offer a range of activities and programs designed to stimulate children's cognitive, physical, and emotional growth, preparing them for the transition to primary education.

The main production techniques in the pre-primary education industry involve the delivery of educational and care services to young children. This includes the design and implementation of age-appropriate curricula, the facilitation of play-based learning activities, the provision of a safe and nurturing environment, and the monitoring of children's progress and development. Qualified teachers and caregivers work closely with children, using a variety of teaching methods and resources to support their learning and growth.

The key inputs required for the pre-primary education industry include qualified and experienced teaching staff, educational materials and resources (such as books, toys, and learning aids), suitable facilities and infrastructure (e.g., classrooms, playgrounds, and equipment), and funding sources (such as government subsidies, tuition fees, and private investments). Additionally, the industry relies on the involvement and cooperation of parents or guardians to support the educational and developmental needs of the children.

The primary output of the pre-primary education industry is the provision of early childhood education and care services, which prepare children for the transition to primary education. The graduates of pre-primary education institutions may then go on to enroll in 85.20 Primary education or other 85.00 Education programs, depending on their age and readiness. The pre-primary education industry also contributes to the broader social and economic well-being of communities by supporting the workforce participation of parents and fostering the healthy development of future generations.
