Education at early years level is quite indispensable and cannot be underscored by any rational human or organization. The provision of such educational opportunities or programmes is, however, an all-inclusive responsibility of all parents, both the mother and the father. Fathers, for example, play an imperative role in the education of their children at early years level in a number of ways. The requirements for the education of children during their early years of education range from payment of school fees to the emotional and cognitive support (Palm, 2012, p.

These can probably not be achieved in isolation of one parent. Rather, a joint effort is prudent. This is where father's involvement come in handy and this cannot be ignored. An examination of the relationship between the level of parental involvement done by the National Household Education Survey in 1996 revealed five distinct levels that can be adopted in understanding the involvement of fathers in the education of their children during the early years. The education of a child at an early level is quite tricky and requires top-level care management and monitoring plan. This is essential because it is the level where most children get an orientation on the course of the education process in its entirety. To ensure this proper and efficient orientation is achieved, it is important to provide a clear head start programs for both the teachers and the parents.

This is not only important in ensuring and preparing the children to be ready for school learning process but also come in handy in ensuring that the children gain and access full benefit of the required school experience for general success in their early years of childhood education. "Head Start" implies a race. Also, of course, when middle-income parents heard that low-pay children were being given a "Head Start," they needed a comparative "Head Start" for their children.

These advocates including the majority of the specialists and scholars whose work was counseled keeping in mind the end goal to set up this archive construct their conviction in light of individual perception and on the numerous exploration contemplate connecting early youth projects to attractive results. It is imperative to note, in any case, that a few instructors, for example, Elkind (1988), Katz (1987), Zigler (1986), bodies of research don't coordinate. As the essential parent, fathers had different roles to play; supplier, moral manager, slave driver, partner, and educator for their children, to give some examples. Despite the fact that mothers were in charge of the everyday care of children, particularly youthful children, they were thought to be excessively passionate and excessively liberal, making it impossible, making it impossible to bring up children legitimately.

The approach of urbanization and industrialization in the nineteenth century reclassified the parts of mothers and fathers. The part of fathers turned out to be overwhelmingly that of "supplier," while the part of mothers extended in a few regards and limited in others. Mothers turned into the parent with essential obligation regarding children, including their ethical advancement, and for guaranteeing the smooth operation of the family unit (Demos, 1986). This division of work might be expected in expansive part to the way that men keep on earning more than ladies in work constraint. It might likewise be expected, partially, with societal weights to comply with expected parts. Society from numerous points of view manages the parts that mothers play and has clear assumptions about the proper conduct of mothers.

Societal desires of how fathers should carry on, past being a decent supplier, are not as clear, and in this manner, the strain to act in particular ways isn't as solid. The ascent in separate and nonmarital childbearing has implied that an ever-increasing number of children are spending, at any rate, some portion of their childhoods living with just a single parent. Place of Representatives, 1983). The solitary parent, of need, should frequently fill all parts of the family. It has been recommended that the auxiliary requirements of being the sole parent in the family reduce conventional sexual orientation part contrasts, making single parents and single parents more comparative with regards to parenting than mothers and fathers in two-parent families (Thomson, McLanahan, & Curtin, 1992, p.

Indeed, even with the need to expect parts of the other parent's part, in any case, no less than one investigation has discovered confirmation that single parents and single parents carry on distinctively in no less than one regard: the sorts of assets that they put resources into their children. Single parents will probably give monetary assets, which may to some extent mirror their more noteworthy financial prosperity contrasted with single parents, while single parents will probably give what Downey named "relational" assets, incorporating being associated with their children's schools, partaking in-home exercises, and knowing their children's companions. Progressively, in any case, eyewitnesses are contending that like inhabitant fathers, alien fathers have a greater number of parts than that of a supplier in their children's lives.

Conclusion Based on the broad and in-depth analysis of evidence, fathers play a significant role in the education of their children during the early years level. This is not only limited to the fundamental parental obligation of the provision of basic needs but also in enhancing the cognitive and emotional development of the child. It must be succinctly comprehended with certainty that both family involvement, as well as that of the policyholders and educators, are jointly needed for successful childhood education during their early levels. The traditional notion where most education success of children during their early years was primarily linked with their mothers should, therefore, be stopped as this is entirely a joint initiative of the two parents. These include social, emotional as well as academic growth.

When parents get involved in academic matters of their children, they get to understand the requirements of their children and can act on them to ensure early levels of their children education is effective. Despite the joint involvement of parents in the matters of early education for their children, there is an intuitive focus on the fathers based on a consideration of the kind of father’s involvement as either resident or non-resident involvement. This is as illustrated in the foregone discussions and presented evidence as justified above. The involvement of fathers in the education of their children’s education during their early years level is therefore quite indispensable and cannot be underscored.
