The Power of Early Learning:

How the First Five Years Shape a Child’s Future

Did you know that 90% of a child’s brain development happens before age five? These early years lay the foundation for a child’s learning, social skills, and emotional well-being. As parents, caregivers, and educators, we have a unique opportunity to nurture young minds and set them up for lifelong success.

​

Why Early Childhood Education Matters

From birth, children are like little sponges, absorbing information from their surroundings. Studies show that children who engage in structured early learning experiences tend to:

✅ Develop better language and communication skills
✅ Build stronger problem-solving abilities
✅ Develop emotional intelligence and social skills
✅ Have a smoother transition into kindergarten and beyond

By providing a stimulating, supportive environment, we help children gain the skills they need to thrive.

The Role of Parents and Caregivers in Early Learning

While quality childcare and preschool programs play a huge role, learning doesn’t stop when a child leaves the classroom. Parents and caregivers are a child’s first teachers, and there are simple ways to encourage learning at home:

Read Together Daily – Even 10 minutes of reading can enhance language development and imagination.
Encourage Creativity – Art, music, and pretend play help build problem-solving skills.
Engage in Conversations – Talking with your child expands their vocabulary and critical thinking.
Play with Purpose – Simple games like puzzles and building blocks promote cognitive development.

​

Choosing the Right Early Learning Program

When selecting a childcare or preschool, look for programs that focus on:

Interactive Learning – Hands-on activities that encourage curiosity and exploration.
Social Development – Opportunities for children to interact, share, and build friendships.
Qualified Educators – Teachers who nurture and guide children with patience and care.
Faith & Values – A strong foundation in moral and ethical teachings to develop character.

At Higher Learning Childcare Academy, we believe that every child is full of potential. Our mission is to create a loving, engaging, and faith-filled environment where children can grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
