Abstract The focus of researchers, medical practitioners and scientists on HIV has been on children infected with HIV at birth, women, youths and adults generally. The school curriculum takes care of those in Primary and Secondary schools through Family Life and HIV/AIDS Education. The children in Pre-phmary schools that fall between ages 3-5 have not received equal attention on the possibility of being infected with HIV through risky behaviors like the use of infected sharp objects (razor blade, clipper blade) and tooth brush used by an infected person on a bleeding gum. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which early childhood educators have made provisions on how to create awareness on HIV/AIDS among the children between the ages of 2-5yrs, to find out whether these selected children have had any awareness on the root cause/prevention of HIV/AIDS and to possibly examine the extent to which the use of poems, songs, storytelling and pictures can help to create awareness on HIV/AIDS root cause and prevention. To do this, a set of questions (pre-test) was administered to thirty-five respondents in early years education pupils and the responses showed that these Early years pupils never had opportunities of being taught, as it was only one of the Respondents out of thirty- five ( 35) who was able to answer one question out of five questions.

Abstract Verbal Abuse is the most common abuse towards children in their homes. The fact that signs of verbal abuse are hardly traceable in the body of the victim does not suggest that verbal abuse has no negative effect on the abused. Children who are verbally abused by adults (parents, teachers) or peers often become abusive themselves, depressed and self-destructive later in life. This paper is a survey research aimed at exploring why adults abuse children, the different types of abuses, the damaging effects on the abused child, how the victim sees the abuser and the reactions that follow. The research recommended that parents and teachers should restrain from abusing children.

Abstract Storytelling describes the social and cultural activities of sharing stones, sometimes with improvisation and embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives which are shared as means of entertainment, education, cultural presentation or instilling of moral values. It helps us to understand our environment and personal experiences. Many older stories are originally traditional folktales which were used as means of preservation of the societal norms for the future of those societal norms to be past across to future generations. The norms and values represent the rules of oral pattern of storytelling and are the product of a community experience, as well as the individual storytelling. Therefore, it has become a great concern on how storytelling can be integrated into early childhood curriculum. It becomes necessary to also think of how early childhood teachers should develop the habit of using storytelling in the classroom situation to effectively increase role in early childhood learning.

Abstract Education is an indispensable tool in nations building. It is a process and systematic training and instruction designed to transmit knowledge and acquisition and skills, potentials and abilities which will enable an individual to contribute efficiently to the growth and development of ones society and nation. The purpose of education is to improve the quality of life of its people in the society. The foundation of any building will depend on how solid, how strong that building is able to stand the test of time. Qualitative Education for national development in early childhood Education must provide that systematic training and design that will transmit knowledge and acquisition of skills that will enable the child grow, develop and contribute to the development of his or her society. Besides, focus should be made on the importance of qualitative education in early Childhood Education. Also emphasis should be laid on the philosophy of early childhood education, the needs to improve self-esteem of early childhood teacher through giving them adequate training that will expose them to new challenges in early childhood classroom, such challenges should help them to operate simple computer games and other needed skills to proof their worth in the teaching profession. It involves all round development of an individual physically, socially, morally, intellectually and mentally (Osakwue, 2006). Federal Republic of Nigeria (2004) has described early childhood care and Education as the education given in an educational institution to children aged 3-5 years prior to their entering primary school. This is to say that early childhood Education is a special kind of education provided for children, in an institution. It can be said to be a "formalized educational process to which children between ages 2 Vi through five plus are subjected to designated early childhood care and education institution" (Mezieobi, 2006). Sustainable development means, to make the world a better place for every one without destroying possibilities for the next generation to live a happy and quality lives. It is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs.
