Play to learn

Research tells us children learn best through play. It’s only natural that children are more open to learning when they are happy, and more likely to remember a fun experience.

Child care providers are your partners in preparing your child for kindergarten and a future bright with opportunity.

Give your child the best start in life with quality childhood educators that use story, dramatic play and hands-on experience to lead children to learning.

Reach for the stars – visit our website to find star-rated quality early childhood educators.
