how it lays the foundation for child's academic development

 

Children who receive high-quality early childhood education are more likely to succeed academically, have better social and emotional development, and are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college.

examples of early childhood education



Here are some examples of personal philosophies:

the outcomes of early childhood education
