Why Invest in Early Childhood?

 

• A child’s experiences in the first five years lay the foundation for future success in school and in life.

• Early investment allows us to capitalize on the greatest period of brain development during our lifespan.

• Strong relationships and enriching early experiences greatly increase the likelihood that children will be ready for school.

• A focus on social-emotional development in the early years provides children with the critical "soft skills"- attention, perserverance, motivation, self-regulation- that are important for school and life. 

• Early intervention can prevent later difficulties saving children from costly remediation and personal struggle.
