early years - formerly preschool Programs

Preschool is now Early Years The change in name reflects a new understanding of the importance of play in a child's healthy development during the early years of 0 to 6yrs. "Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul." Fredrich Froebel
