Early Life and Education
Early childhood years are crucial in a child’s development. During these times, their brains grow at their fastest rate and they develop their sense of self, social skills, moral outlook and perception of the world.
The type of care children receive is determined by a range of factors, including family income and structure, the availability and quality of early care services, as well as parental attitudes toward this issue. Furthermore, an increasing interest in the connections between early learning and primary school readiness has spurred various policy initiatives.
In the United States, there are numerous private advocacy, research and outreach institutions as well as university, foundation and public policy groups that specialize in ECEC issues. These experts often collaborate with government representatives at all levels – national, state and local.
