A large and growing body of research
supports the critical relationship
between early childhood experiences
and successful learning outcomes.
The responsibility for providing support
systems and resources that
result in positive outcomes for young
children is a shared one. Families,
early childhood teachers and caregivers,
community members, and policymakers
all contribute to the well being
of children.
The efforts of each and every one of these groups are vital in the process of developing healthy, well-functioning children.
