Working with young children is a profession that requires knowledge of how children grow and develop as well as the skills to communicate effectively with children and families. Research compiled in the last fifteen years underscores two essential findings: 1.) that high quality early learning programs are important for good child outcomes, and 2.) that practitioner education and training are keys in providing good early learning experiences.
