The Early Childhood Development Program supports parents and caregivers during the critical early years of their children’s lives, from birth to kindergarten. Families learn about physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth, and discover practical ways to create positive learning experiences at home. The program helps parents become their child’s first teachers and strongest advocates.

Why Early Childhood Matters

The first five years of life are the foundation for a child’s future. During this stage, children’s brains develop rapidly, making early experiences essential to long-term success. With support and guidance, families can:

  • Encourage language and literacy development.

  • Build strong social and emotional skills.

  • Foster curiosity, problem solving, and creativity.

  • Prepare children for a confident and successful transition into school.

What Families Learn

The program is structured into six sessions, each focused on a key area of early development:

  1. The Importance of Early Years – Understanding stages of development, brain growth, and quality childcare.

  2. Language Development – Helping children build vocabulary, communication skills, and emotional expression.

  3. Preparing for Reading – Building early literacy habits through shared reading, songs, and stories.

  4. Early Math Skills – Exploring shapes, numbers, and patterns through play and daily activities.

  5. Ready for School – Understanding preschool, transitional kindergarten, and the expectations teachers have for new students.

  6. Preparing for Kindergarten – Supporting children with academic, social, and emotional readiness, and understanding Common Core standards.
