Choosing an early learning program

Children who have rich learning environments during their early years are better prepared for school and are more likely to have the social-emotional skills needed for kindergarten and beyond. Look for a place where you and your child are warmly welcomed, with qualified staff, where safety and health are priorities and where learning happens through play. If possible, make appointments to visit while children are in attendance.
