Why quality early learning matters
Quality early learning
and child development can open the doors of opportunity for every
child to do well in school, in the workforce, and in life. But quality
early learning requires the commitment of families, teachers, and the
community in order for children to reach their promise.
Children learn best when they have proper health and nutrition, a
safe and stable family and home life, and activities that stimulate creativity,
curiosity, and all the skills they will need to succeed in school and
life. Research has taught us that the earliest years of childhood are
critically important to children’s long term development. When children
are thriving, their parents can provide for and support a more stable
family. Quality education for our children today prepares them for high
quality jobs tomorrow. A high quality workforce empowers Pennsylvania to
compete nationally and globally, improving the quality of life for all.
