Story Behind the Curve
Research shows that what happens in early childhood lays the foundation for how children's brains develop, how they do at school, and how they interact with the world throughout their lives. High quality early childhood education is needed to ensure children (from birth to five) have a strong start. Early childhood education is also a smart investment for our community because it enables parents to remain employed.
