Pediatric Play Time
Research shows that experiences in the earliest years of life play a critical role in children’s ability to grow up healthy and ready to learn. Ensuring that babies have good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences will lay the foundation for success throughout their lives. We know that for very young children, all the domains of development – physical, cognitive, and social/emotional – are inextricably linked. Therefore, the programs which serve young children and their families should be comprehensive and reflect the interrelated disciplines which impact their development and their lives.
