Empowering teachers and students for a brighter future.

Looking for high-quality childcare or early childhood education is no small task. It can seem like there is an overwhelming amount of daycare centers all promising to give the most to the children who attend them. When a family is searching for a childcare program, they need to understand what makes a childcare facility high-quality and why that is so beneficial to the development of their child. 

Several research studies show that high-quality early learning helps kids develop stronger language, math, and social skills upon entering school. Studies also show that they are less likely to require special education classes as they advance in their studies. Children enrolled in childcare and early learning education programs are also more likely to earn higher wages and have fewer interactions within the justice system as adults.

High-quality learning and development programs provide a strong foundation of curriculum, instruction, and assessment to give children a well-rounded experience that will benefit them now and in the future. The Learning and Development domain focuses on the learning environment and the experiences children have while at the program. The Learning and Development sub-domains include:

• Curriculum and Planning

• Child Screening and Assessment

• Interaction and Environment

We will support companies in the childcare industry to help pay higher wages to their teaching team, assist with purchasing equipment to keep their centers safe and make necessary repairs to continue providing high-quality childcare to the communities they serve.
