Getting Ready for School Begins at Birth: How to Help Your Child Learn in the Early Years

resource thumbnail

Children are born ready to learn. Children are naturally curious beings who are motivated to make sense of the world around them. The brain is the only organ that is not fully formed at birth. During the first 3 years, trillions of connections between brain cells are being made. A child’s relationships and experiences during the early years greatly influence how her brain grows. Children learn best through their everyday experiences with the people they love and trust, and when the learning is fun. This booklet is designed to help parents prepare their children for later learning in a fun and appropriate way.

PAT Update: Where Does a Good Start in School Begin?

resource thumbnail

For those of us working with children and families, the idea that there is a particular point in time when one is “ready to learn” doesn't ring true to our experience. We know that learning begins at birth, if not before, and continues throughout one's life. PAT parent educators help parents understand the critical importance of these early years and suggest ways in which parents can maximize those windows of opportunity with fun every day activities, building the foundations so that when the child enters school she is still learning. PAT believes that a good start for school begins at birth. This information brief provides information for professionals on school readiness related to the PAT program.
