Early childhood education plays a crucial role in the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children. The effectiveness of teaching methodologies significantly impacts these formative years. This article offers a comparative analysis of traditional and modern teaching methodologies in early childhood education. Traditional methods such as rote learning and teacher-centered instruction are compared with modern approaches like experiential learning, child-centered pedagogies, and the integration of technology in education. The discussion focuses on the benefits and drawbacks of each methodology, their impact on child development, and their applicability in today's educational landscape. The study highlights the importance of adopting a blended approach to meet the diverse needs of young learners.
