Find out which school districts are serving infant and toddler aged children; Serving infants and toddlers in school districts is a growing trend, and the reasons behind it are both practical and impactful. Research shows that early intervention during the first three years of life—when brain development is at its peak—can significantly enhance cognitive, social, and emotional growth. High-quality early childhood settings provide nurturing environments that foster these developments, setting a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Beyond developmental benefits, serving younger children can address broader community needs. For example, it supports working families by providing reliable care and education, and it helps identify and address developmental delays early, reducing the need for intensive interventions later. Additionally, programs like Early Head Start and similar initiatives ensure access to resources for low-income families.
