We’re proud to partner with Mediaplanet on their recently published Empowering Our Essential Workers campaign! Designed to inform and raise awareness, the Early Childhood Education section explores the most pressing topics in early childhood education - more than 90% of a child's brain develops before the age of 5, making the early years the primary window for establishing lifelong learning pathways. This section connects families, educators, and communities with the resources, support, and opportunities needed to help children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
