EDFRONT JR
PRESCHOOL THROUGH EARLY ELEMENTARY
The brains of young children are developing and adapting at an incredible rate! They are continually discovering and exploring the world around them, building new life skills, and forming their unique sense of individuality, independence, and confidence. These years of newness and discovery can bring cognitive and emotional challenges for children and their parents alike.
EdFront Jr. seeks to support families of young children by promoting understanding around childhood development, sharing effective, research-driven strategies, and advocating for appropriate supports within home and school settings.
