The early years — from a child\u2019s birth to age eight — are critically important for all areas of learning and development. That includes children\u2019s health and physical development, emotional and behavioral development, as well as logic and reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early experiences and relationships shape how a child\u2019s brain gets built. Creating a strong foundation \u2013 with secure and loving relationships and positive experiences — leads to greater health, learning and well-being later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, every interaction you have with your child teaches him or her something about the world. The Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines, and new video series, can make you feel more confident in this role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guidelines describe a child\u2019s learning and development from birth to 8 years old, and  bring together strategies that align with our deep scientific understanding of how best to support children\u2019s healthy development in the early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit EarlyLearningCO.org to access the Guidelines and a series of fun and informational videos that models how you or your child\u2019s caregivers can get more involved in their life and make the most of the early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also watch this video for more information on how you can get involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
