Childhood Education International"We focus mainly on the early years from birth to 11 years old; however, we also recognize that in order to work in a holistic way, we must understand and consider the entire cycle of children’s learning and development. Child development is, after all, a continuum of experiences that spans from birth through adolescence up until the transition to adulthood, with the early years being the critical foundation and launching point that influences the rest of a child’s life."
