The early years of a child’s life provide the physical and emotional framework that shapes individual potential. During the early years development is rapid and extensive.
Experiences in these years establish intelligence, behavioral patterns, and other personality traits that will persist throughout a lifetime.
These experiences take place in the context of family and community life molded by economic and social conditions.
The Great Start System recognizes that early childhood experiences are most profound in five key areas:
• Pediatric and Family Health
• Social and Emotional Health
• Child Care and Early Education
• Parenting Leadership
• Family Support
