The Early Years Are Formative Years

Current research shows that the first six years of life are formative and very important years in a child's development. During the first years of life, infant brain development depends on the infant's nurturing and environmental experiences. During periods of time known as "windows of opportunity" in a child's brain development, the child is especially open to certain kinds of learning. The brain continues to develop and mature in many areas after six years of age but patterns of behaviour and emotional response set in the early years are very difficult to change or make up for in other ways. Early childhood experiences also have powerful effects on the development of children's physical and emotional abilities in language, math, logic and music.

What is "High Quality" Child Care?

Research shows that the best child care meets children's basic physical, cognitive, emotional and social needs, helps their ability to learn and be ready for school, provides play and learning activities that suit their ages, fulfils children's need s to feel loved, respected and listened to, and helps them learn to respect the rights of others. Furthermore, research has found that high quality child care centres which support the best development of children have q qualified staff of Early Childhood Educators, high standards of operation, low staff turnover, small child-staff ratios, good salaries and working conditions, and opportunities for family involvement in the program.
