Early Life and Education

Early years in a child’s life are critical for their development. Here, social skills, self-worth and an outlook on the world are built.

Early childhood education (ECE) programs are essential in setting the foundations for their intellectual growth and moral outlook, so it’s no surprise why ECE programs are so critical.

Understanding how a child’s experiences from birth (and even prenatally) can shape their future learning capacity, behaviors and health is an essential step in improving outcomes for both children and society as a whole. With this insight, parents and educators can make decisions which benefit both their child’s development as well as that of the community they grow up in.
