Supporting Early Childhood Education: A Foundation for the Future

Early Childhood Education (ECE) is often overlooked in local planning, yet it sets the foundation for lifelong learning. Councils can support ECE by building nursery schools, training caregivers, and integrating early learning into community health and social development strategies. Collaborations with health centers ensure that children are developmentally ready for school. Advocacy for increased ECE funding is essential to expand access and improve outcomes.
