To the editor:
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 40 years of experience working with children and adolescents, I believe that Early Childhood Development, age 0 through 5 is the most critical stage of development and forms the foundation for a child’s future,well being and ability to learn.
Ninety percent of brain growth occurs after birth but before kindergarten.
Healthy Early Childhood Development includes physical,social,emotional and language cognition. All of equal importance.
Early Childhood Development program opportunities provided to young children are crucial in shaping life long health and development.
Heathy kids result in more productive adults. I strongly support the Early Childhood Millage.
