Early Life and Education

Early years in a child’s life can have significant long-term impacts on their health and wellbeing. During this period of rapid brain development, kids develop social skills, self-worth, perceptions of the world and moral values.

Childhood experiences have the power to shape a child’s future; however, traumatic events or environments during this period may have long-lasting detrimental effects on physical, social, and emotional development.

Early childhood education is becoming a more prominent public policy concern. The OECD recognizes its value as an economic indicator that can help a country position itself for future success, while UNESCO prioritizes high-quality ECE as one of its sustainable development objectives.
