Why is Understanding the Early Years so Important?

Why is Understanding the Early Years so important? Research tells us about the importance of brain development in the early years. We need to answer the question “How are our children doing now?” before we will know how to help them do better in the future. Understanding the Early Years is providing answers to this question so that communities and governments can develop the policies, programs and services that best promote the well being of our children.   Language Linked to Successful Reading     Brenda Ives Coordinator Northeast Regional Intersectoral Committee 107 Crawford Ave. East Box 6500 Melfort, Saskatchewan S0E 1A0 Phone: 306-752-6132 Fax: 306-752-6168 Website: www.northeastric.ca
