Cooperation within Early Childhood Education: Learning how to share, cooperate, and take turns within a safe learning environment, guided by professionals who have the children's best interests at heart. #achievementgap #safelearning #earlychildhooddevelopment
A child’s transition from pre-K to kindergarten is an important time. It builds the foundation for academic, behavioral and social-emotional skills, as well as positive family-school connections, for years to come. #goalachievement #daddysgirlmommysworld #drawingwithkids
Building trust with your new students is absolutely a top priority for early childhood educators. Educators must form positive relationships with their little students, ensuring this very first classroom is a safe, welcoming, nurturing place. #preschoolers #earlychildhoodlearning #childhoodeducation
Long-term analyses suggest that early childhood education can increase earnings in adulthood by 1.3 to 3.5 percent. These earnings gains alone are bigger than the costs of such programs. #preschoolactivities #achievementgap #education
More use of powerful formative assessments, more frequent checks to see what early childhood students are learning is incredibly advantageous. Not only does it help us better gauge student progress, but it also helps educators better develop relevant and appropriate instruction. #formativeassessment #studentprogress #studentleaders
Preventing the achievement gap, improving health outcomes, boosting earnings and providing a high rate of economic return. #earlylearners #earlyeducators #mommyandkids #daddyson
Early childhood education is about honing and molding the holistic child, which will eventually form the basis of their lifelong journey. #childdevelopment #dadtime #earlylearningmatters
Strategic
investments in young children and the adults who care for them affect long-term physical and mental health as much as they affect early learning. #mentalhealthishealth #achievementfirst #investmentopportunities
Efforts to improve early child development are an investment, not a cost. Investing in ECE helps promote economic growth while also helping to target the development of character and cognitive skills necessary for future success. #economicgrowth #cognitivehealth #cognitive
Vocabulary development at an early age has an impact on a child's reading comprehension and academic success as they get older. #parentslove #dailyvocabulary #earlylearning101
Milestones are the things a child can do by a certain age. Most children develop skills and abilities in roughly the same order, but the timeframes involved aren’t exact. They vary from child to child. #milestonebaby #developskills #earlyeducationmatters
A balanced approach to emotional, social, cognitive, and language development will best prepare all children for success in school and later in the workplace and community.. #cognitivedevelopment #languagelearner #preschoollearning
Screening and assessment provide valuable information about each child's interests, strengths, and needs. Screening gives a snapshot of whether the child's development is on track. #preschoolmom #preschooldad #mommydaughterlove
Children will develop a hunger for learning if they are taught through fun and exciting activities. This eagerness and enthusiasm for learning will remain with them their entire lives! #activitiesforchildren #learningresources #kidsreading
For children, the art of coloring improves motor skills, simulates creativity, improves confidence. #coloringisfun #coloringforfun #kidsdrawings
Vocabulary growth is directly related to school achievement. The size of a child's vocabulary in kindergarten predicts the ability to learn to read. Expanding a child's knowledge of words provides unlimited access to new information. #vocabularybuilder #vocabularyoftheday
The importance of what researchers call “make your kids future-ready”. This involves a shared responsibility between parents and caregivers that they trust, working together on curriculums and strategies will lead to the best results for children. #futureready #parentgoals #parentsquad
Children have a strong start when their families thrive in supportive communities and they have access to comprehensive health care; early learning opportunities; and social, emotional, and mental health support. #mentalhealthtips #communitydevelopment #childrenbooks
Extended early childhood programs for children up to 3rd grade can provide comprehensive educational, health, and social services to complement standard early childhood and kindergarten programs helping to sustain and bolster early developmental and academic gains. #academicsuccess #academicsupport
In the first few years of a child’s life, neural connections form at a rate of 700‐1000 per second through the interaction of genes and a child’s environment and experiences. #brainpower #earlylearningcenter
The process of child development includes everything from sensory awareness and fine motor skills to language and socialization. The progress of development is strongly influenced by a child's genetic makeup, environment, and cognitive skills. #childhood #childledlearning #languagedevelopment #sensoryactivity
Statistics show that Early Education has proven to increase graduation rates and college attendance. These things help to create a greater quality workforce! #collegeready #graduationiscoming #careersuccess
Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. #healthyoption #healthyrelationships #preschoolplay #preschoolideas
In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second. Sensory pathways like those for basic vision and hearing are the first to develop, followed by early language skills and higher cognitive functions. #brainscience #brainfitness #millenialmom
A growing body of research indicates that early child care and education may lead to improvements in short- and long-term health-related outcomes for children. #healthandhappiness #healthbenefits #healthymindhealthybody
Early childhood education is a term that refers to the period of time from a child’s birth to when they enter kindergarten. It is an important time in children’s lives because it is when they first learn how to interact with others, including peers, teachers and parents, and also begin to develop interests that will stay with them throughout their lives. #parentinglife #parentsnightout #parentingquotes
The National Education Association recognizes that a high-quality early childhood program includes five critical components: provide a well-rounded curriculum; address child health and nutrition; assess children to enhance student learning;: employ well-educated, adequately paid teachers, provide small class sizes.#teacherlife🍎
#teacherfollowteachers
Studies reveal that children from the poorest families learned approximately 30 million fewer words than those from more affluent families by age three. These numbers are a reflection of how much the parents talked to their children, tying directly to IQs and academic performance later in life. #vocabularybuilding #vocabularylearning #dailyvocabulary #parentingskills
Parental involvement is a big component of early childhood development. When the partnership between teachers and the family is successful, it is a positive impact throughout the child’s life. #parentalk #mommydaughter #daddyblogger
One of the importance of early childhood development is that it gives children an outlet to express emotions with people outside of the family to develop social skills. Children at the ages of 2 to 5 years old often start to learn how to manage their feelings. #socialeducation #kidsbabylove
For children, providing responsive, nurturing and stimulating experiences establish the wiring of the brain connections. #brainhealth #braintraining #earlyeducationmatters
Overwhelming evidence shows that children who enter kindergarten behind are likely to remain behind throughout their educational careers and beyond. These gaps in achievement are difficult and expensive to close with K-12 education alone. #achievementgap #activitybook #preschools
Pre-K is a foundational year because, for most children, it provides their initial exposure to school and sets the tone for their educational career. #educationsystem #mommymode #daddylife #godparent
Preschool provides an environment for children to explore, gain a sense of self, play with peers and build self-confidence. Children learn they can accomplish tasks and make decisions without the help of their parents. #preschoolactivity #preschoolathome #preschooldays #preschoolactivities
Children need to get a healthy start in life and the positive effects of nurturing relationships, safe and secure environments, access to nutrition, health-promoting behaviors, and enriching early learning experiences.

Healthy development in the early years provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation. #earlylearning101 #childhooddevelopment #childhoodeducation
In some cases, children may have learning problems and difficulties. With all difficulties, the earlier you identify them, the higher the success of treatment for them. If you can see early on that your child is struggling, you will be able to provide greater help. #preschoollife #earlyyearsteacher #earlyeducators #earlyeducationresearch
Early Childhood Education and school readiness is a critical element in preparing our children to be successful in an increasingly competitive global economy. #earlychildhood #earlyeducationcenter #earlyeducationmatters #earlyeducationstartsathome
Children's early experiences – the bonds they form with their parents and their first learning experiences – deeply affect their future physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. #family #mommy #daddy #blackmombloggers
For children, the art of coloring improves motor skills, simulates creativity, improves confidence. #earlyeducation #earlychildhood #coloringbooks
Children are not always prepared to begin initial education outside the home. There are multiple ways to help children in their first steps and knowledge about the outside world. #homelearning #homeschoolcommunity
Children who receive early childhood educational opportunities are more successful on average as they continue in their educational and professional futures. Many of the skills that children social, academic and behavioral skills that children develop in their early years lay the foundation for how they view education throughout the remainder of their lives. #preschooleducation #preschooleducation #mommyof2
The relationship developed with primary caregivers is the most influential in children’s lives. A secure relationship fosters not only positive developmental outcomes over time, but also influences the quality of future relationships with peers and partners. #daddies #daddyduty #kidslearning
Playing fun and engaging movement and music games that exercise the brain are great ways to encourage positive parent-child interactions and help children develop important self-regulation skills. #kidsactivitiesathome #kidsactivitiesblog #kidsactivites
Brain development begins before birth and into adulthood. Early interactions and experiences with caregivers help to shape a young child’s brain. Building a healthy brain early provides a child with a strong foundation and increases positive long term outcomes. #brainpower #braindevelopment #brainactivity
Improving the pre-kindergarten education of children is one step that can be taken to improve a society economically and socially. #preschoolgraduate #preschoolisfun #preschoolteachers #preschoolactivity
Learning delays can be greatly reduced with the help of early intervention. At the beginning stages of Kindergarten early academics, children who did not participate in an Early Childhood Education program lag behind their peers who have attended an ECE program. #preschoolactivities #preschoolgraduation #preschoolhomeschool
Good nutrition and health and consistent loving care and encouragement to learn in the early years of life help children to do better at school, be healthier, have higher earnings and participate more in society. #kidslove #earlylearning101 #earlylearners #childrenarethefuture
Early life stress and adverse events can have a lasting impact on the mental and physical health of children. Specifically, early life stress can contribute to developmental delays and poor health outcomes in the future.
#mentalhealthisimportant #youthmentalhealth #youthmentalhealthawareness #kidsmentalhealth #kidsmentalhealthmatters
Children who participate in high-quality early childhood education programs before entering kindergarten experience improved high school graduation rates. #educationiskey #educationfirst #educationforall
Researchers have shown that group-oriented behaviors affect not only the formation of care provider-child attachments but also classroom climates, and harmonious peer play.
#toddlerplayactivities #playdiscovercreate #activityforkids #activitybooks
Three fundamental factors that facilitate proper brain development are: quality of environment, quality of interactions and quality of teachers. #earlychildhood #preschoolerbooks #kindergartenbooks #booksforkids
Early learners are perfectly adapted to learn STEM concepts, and it is not difficult to teach STEM to young children. The secret is to tap into their natural and innate curiosity about the living world. #stemforkids #stemlearning #stemeducation #stemactivities
From the time children enter an early learning school, they should be comforted by familiar faces and a consistent environment and routine. They also should experience a stimulating “home away from home” where discovery and exploration are nurtured and encouraged. #children #discoverykids #kidsdraw #kidsbookshelf
Early childhood teachers specialize in the learning, developmental, social, and physical needs of young children. These educators provide a safe and comfortable environment in which young children can learn not just early academics, but social, motor, and adaptive skills.
#teacherappreciation #teachersrock #teacherblogger #teacherstuff
Only high-quality programs can be expected to substantially reduce inequalities in learning and development. Low-quality programs, on the other hand, likely exacerbate inequality.
#earlychildhood #prekbooks #kindergartenbooks
During early periods of development, a child’s brain is most open to the influence of external experiences. For this reason, creating stable environments with responsive and nurturing interactions is critical to producing lifelong benefits for learning, behavior and health.
#earlychildhoodeducator #earlyyearseducation #parentsbelike #parentblogger
Children acquire skills in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, speech and language, and physical development, including fine and gross motor skills.

Our lives are interconnected and interdependent. What happens in one place affects what happens in another. We must act with a global mindset. Interconnectedness is key to embracing our common humanity and shared responsibility.
