Early Learning
We now know that the most significant brain
development happens by age three. It is clear that child care
environments are the learning platform for this early period of brain
and social development for many children.
James Heckman, a Nobel Prize winning economist and co-author of
Inequality in America, reveals the dramatic increase in the rate of
return the earlier we invest in children’s lives.

You can find more information about early learning many places. Here are
just some to consider:

Educators and child development experts agree that there are some
important skills children need to make a successful transition to
kindergarten. What comes to mind for many parents is the need for their
children to have early “academic” skills, such as reading , writing and
mathematics. Although some knowledge in these areas will help your child
be better prepared for kindergarten, what is most important are your
child’s social and emotional skills.
