| Early Literacy | "Developing language and literacy skills begins at birth through everyday loving interactions, such as sharing books, telling stories, singing songs and talking to one another. In this video from Zero to Three watch how reading to your baby starting at birth can help foster strong reading skills and a growing vocabulary." | |
| Early Math and Science | Children use early math skills throughout their daily routines and activities. This is good news as these skills are important for being ready for school. But early math doesn't mean taking out the calculator during playtime. Even before they start school, most children develop an understanding of addition and subtraction through everyday interactions. Other math skills are introduced through daily routines you share with your child, like counting steps as you go up or down. Informal activities give children a jumpstart on the more formal math instruction that starts in school. | Document |
| Early Stem Education | Research shows that early exposure to STEM has positive impacts across the entire spectrum of learning. For example, early math knowledge not only predicts later math success, it also predicts later reading achievement (National Research Council, 2012). Despite these powerful findings, our schools and early childhood programs often lack knowledge, resources, and capacity to focus on early STEM learning in developmentally appropriate ways. Here are some informative resources from the U.S. Department of Education. | |

| Effective Classroom Practice: Infants and Toddlers | "During the earliest years, infants and toddlers interact primarily with people. Their interactions with toys are usually in the context of human interaction as well. They need to freely explore, manipulate, and test everything in the environment. Increasingly in today’s world, this includes the exploration of technology tools and interactive media." Here is a guide for the use of technology: Selected Examples of Effective Classroom Practice Involving Technology Tools and Interactive Media from NAEYC. | Document |
| Effective Discipline to Raise Healthy Children | Corporal punishment – or the use of spanking as a disciplinary tool –increases aggression in young children in the long run and is ineffective in teaching a child responsibility and self-control. In fact, new evidence suggests that it may cause harm to the child by affecting normal brain development. Other methods that teach children right from wrong are safer and more effective. This article is from Robert D. Sege, Benjamin S. Siegel, Council on Child Abuse and Neglect and the Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health. | Document |
