Stamford Early Childhood Fair Spotlight:
|
|
Stamford Early Childhood Fair Spotlight:
Early childhood educational experiences are so important for the social, emotional, motor, and academic development for children to be ready to learn once they reach Kindergarten. The pandemic has drastically decreased the number of children who have had these important experiences. In 2021 only 66% of incoming Kindergarten students had a preschool experience while as before the pandemic over 85% of students had a preschool experience.
Join us on Saturday, April 30th, 9:30-12:30 at the Carousel in Mill River Park to learn about the variety of child care options and early childhood resources that we have here in Stamford.
