Through nearly 40 years of work, we know starting early has the biggest impact on children, families and communities. Quality early learning programs provide children with a safe, welcoming environment where they can play and learn. Our teachers and home visitors work with families to provide the academic, social and emotional preparation that infants, toddlers and preschoolers need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
