Zero To Three Website

                                     Zero To Three

http://www.zerotothree.org/

ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that provides parents, professionals and policymakers the knowledge and know-how to nurture early development.

Our mission is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life.

A current issue for this week that caught my attention is an article about school readiness.

PUTTING INFANTS

AND TODDLERS ON THE PATH

TO SCHOOL READINESS:  This article was about taking the necessary steps for children to become ready for school.

Excerpt from the article:

A child’s life of learning begins at birth, with brain development shaped

by early experiences setting the foundation for all learning that follows.

This early path to school readiness unfolds in everyday moments,

within caring relationships that nurture confidence and security. How

very young children are cared for teaches them how to interact with

the world and profoundly shapes who they will become. In essence,

the first steps toward school readiness also lead to the resiliency and

positive behaviors needed for success in the workforce and in life.

    Amy,

    I've used this website as a go-to reference site for every class I've taken during this Master's program, but hadn't subscribed to their newsletters as of yet.

    I think I will go do so now.

    Thanks for the summary.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    Amy,
    I have used this website and actually chose this same website for this class. I have found this website to be very helpful through previous classes and actually subscribed to the newsletters as well. I forsee this website being very beneficial as I continue my endeavor for my Master's Degree in early childhood. I hope you find it to be a very useful tool as well. Good luck!
    Thanks,
    Amy McCoig

    Hi Amy,
    I have also used this website on several occasions. I have found the articles very useful not only in my coursework, but for my staff at my center. Thanks so much for the post!

    Hi Amy, thanks for the post. I will look into this website, I see a lot of use for it in my class and to add to my resources. Helping children get ready for school is a very big undertaking. I'm glad there is a website to assist the families too.
