WHY BIRTH – 6 YRS?
The first six years of life are critical to a child’s development.
During these years, children rapidly develop skills in the following areas:
-
Thinking and learning
-
Language and communication
-
Physical abilities
-
Social and emotional
-
Independence and adaptive abilities
We look for programs that strengthen these foundations through:
-
Responsive caregiving
-
Play and learning
-
Reading and conversation
-
Healthy routines
-
Nutrition and sleep
-
Disciplined environment
