Early Childhood

website-mom-dad-baby.jpgChildren start learning from birth. Their early years are the foundation for growth and development, and what they learn during those years depends on the experiences they have each and every day. This is our greatest challenge as parents and caregivers, as well as our greatest opportunity. 

How can parents, grandparents, and caregivers support learning?  Since children learn in a variety of ways and styles, to achieve developmental milestones, the relationship with parents and primary caregivers is essential.  It's a connection that allows for optimal learning.
