The facts are in! School readiness cannot wait until kindergarten! Learning earlier is learning better!

Between the ages of three and five children are eager to learn. Research has shown that this is the most important time in a child’s development -- when the brain and body form connections essential for future learning and healthy physical growth.

During the first five years of life, children learn:

• Pride and confidence in themselves

• Appropriate behavior and respect for others

• Build foundational skills to learn to read, write, and understand math

• The basics of language

• Coordination and balance

Now is the time they get to know their world, make new friends, and learn important lessons for life!
