Your child’s early learning experiences are critical
During the first few years of life, young children’s rate of development is at its highest level. These early years matter because neural connections are formed through a baby’s environment and experiences, especially interactions with adults. These are the connections that build brain architecture – the foundation upon which all later learning, behavior, and health depend. (Reference: Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child). The early learning and care environment you choose can have a major impact on your child’s future. Quality early learning experiences build the foundation for skills your child needs in school, work, and life. |
How to choose the best early learning and care setting
Is it that family child care home in your neighborhood? How about your family, a friend, or a neighbor? Or a larger child care center near your work? How about the church-run program recommended by a friend? Or a preschool program at your neighborhood school?
