Early childhood education is so much more than learning letters and numbers. It is children learning about themselves and about others in the community. It is expanding empathy and learning how to care for the needs of others. It is learning to wait your turn and to choose a second choice while you’re waiting.

It is solving problems creatively and resolving conflicts peacefully.
It is developing healthy self-esteem based on real accomplishments, not artificial praise.
It is celebrating our strength and learning how to recover from defeat.
Early childhood is a time to experience the fullness and wonder of life.
