Early Life and Education

Early childhood is a critical period in a child’s development, and parents provide invaluable guidance. They teach their little ones how to walk, speak, feed themselves and comprehend the world around them.

At this age, children begin to form the foundations for social skills, self-worth and moral character that will serve them throughout life. These traits are vitally important for their future educational advancement.

In the United States, there is a vast array of programs to promote early childhood development and education – such as child care, early learning, preschool and kindergarten. Unfortunately, these initiatives often operate in siloes without coordination among one another, leading to substandard services and programs.
