| Summary: | Early childhood is a critical period for
growth and development. Research shows that giving young
children enough nurturing and stimulating experiences during
these early years not only improves their chances of success
in school but can also help them succeed and be more
productive later in life. Although access to preschool has
increased substantially in recent years, in many low-income
communities’ children don’t receive any educational services
before they start primary school. In some cases, parents
aren’t aware of the value of early education and might not
take advantage of opportunities to enroll their children in
preschool, even when services are available. |
