Why Is This Important?
Early childhood is a time of wonder, intrigue, and amazement as children begin to take in the world around them. The first years of life are also a time of rapid development and tremendous importance: a child's earliest experiences can significantly affect the quality of his or her adult life. Because a child's earliest experiences are shaped by the world we - as parents, caregivers, teachers, service providers, and community members - create for them, it is critical that we build a healthy, nurturing learning environment full of creativity and variety. Knowledge of the demographics in New Haven help to inform the work to create the best possible environment in our community to put our children on a firm path to lifelong success.
