Survival of children through early years depends on adults who care for them

Care for the child

Child care is a very important part of a family’s life. The nurturing, care and educating that is offered to our children will shape them as they move through the toddler years.

The survival of children through their early years depends on the adults who care for them.

Children need to eat well in order to grow, be healthy and strong. They need protection from illness and injury as they explore the world around them. When they are sick, they need good medical care. Adults must meet many needs of a growing child.

Children also need adults who give them love, affection, and appreciation. They need adults who spend time playing and communicating with them. Adults help children from birth to learn the skills that will make it possible for them, too, to become competent, happy, and caring adults.

Quality matters

All of a child’s early experiences, whether at home, in child care, or in other preschool settings, are educational.
