Let's Start Learning
One of the best things we can do to help ensure the future success of our children is to invest time and energy into helping them learn during their youngest years. Where do we begin to help them learn, thrive and succeed?
Early Learning
How your child plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves offer important clues about your child’s development. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age.
This link will explain child development from observable behaviors from 3 months to 5 years. https://pathways.org/all-ages/
Examples of these abilities are:
- Handling food and objects with hands and fingers (able to hold a cup without dropping or spilling contents.
- Walking or moving around with confidence and ease.
- Able to repeat clearly and correctly what is said, speak clearly in sentences of up to 5 words.
- Responds to everyday interactions including sound, light, touch in a positive manner.
- Can follow simple verbal instructions
Sharing your child’s particular needs before they are to enter the school setting will help with programming and support services.
