Did you know...
Did you know the first 5 years of your child’s life are important for their growth? 90% of your child’s brain grows before kindergarten.
This growth and early experiences have a lasting impact on your child’s health and ability to learn and succeed both in school and in life. That’s why school readiness begins before your child enters kindergarten.
Through purposeful play and making the most of everyday moments, you can promote school readiness skills in your child from the moment your child is born!
