Why HIGH Quality Early Learning Matters Now and Later
Children who enter kindergarten not ready will struggle to catch up with their peers. The readiness gap widens over time.
The Why
- 90% of a child’s 🧠 is developed before the age of five.
- Early brain development has an impact on a child’s ability to learn and succeed.
- The achievement gap begins as early as six months of age.
- The “soft skills”(attention,cooperation, critical thinking, collaboration, empathy, focus and persistence) set the stage for learning and life.
- By three-years-old, a child’s vocabulary can predict third grade reading.
- Language development, literacy, math and social skills are boosted for low and middle-income children when they have access to quality.
High quality early education can close the achievement and opportunity gaps. That’s why we offer financial assistance and scholarships to lower and middle-income families. Every child regardless of their zip code, deserves equitable access to a high quality education from start to finish.
