General information about ECE/success later in life:
The brain develops rapidly during the first 5 years of a child’s life. During that time, the human brain undergoes rapid development; it’s a period when a child builds cognitive skills — the foundation for reading, math, science and academics — as well as character skills, social-emotional growth, gross-motor skills and executive functioning, which includes everything from impulse control to problem solving. Quality ECE would mean that these skills would be developed in a safe and nurturing environment with qualified educators equipped to deal with children at any and every level of this development.
