A Word From Our Collaborative on Early Childhood Development
We envision a future where all children (ages 0 to 5 years old) receive high-quality early education and care from their families and their communities, supported by resources sufficient to achieve positive long-term outcomes in school and in life.
The love and care you give your child helps shape who they become. It's an awesome responsibility.
- Parents give their children good nutrition and health care so they can grow and develop to their full potential.
- Parents answer their children's needs so they feel secure and can become confident and independent.
- Parents make sure their children play with other children and have positive relationships with other adults so they learn how to get along with others.
- Parents help their children explore the world around them so they can learn and discover in safe places.
- Parents sing, read, and talk often with their children so they can learn how to communicate.
