Thank you to the town of Pinetop-Lakeside today for proclaiming April 11-17 as Week of the Young Child, which focuses attention on early learning! #WOYC20 #AzAEYC

“I wouldn’t have been able to take the classes on my teacher’s salary. With the training, I taught the children so much more,” said FTF scholarship recipient Bonnie LaPointe.

This is the truth. And it is a reality that we must, collectively and cooperatively, confront. We cannot continue to believe that our current system of early care and education works, or that it will magically improve.

Wonderful Story

Babies are born ready to learn !! #ftfsummit

@dougducey @BLS_gov @azcommerce That's wonderful news!! Now we need to prepare a qualified workforce. How about statewide free preschool for all. Amazing what happens in the first five years of a child's life and how that impacts our great state's workforce. The ROI would be tremendous.

Childhood trauma arrives with huge emotional costs in every community, including the one you are tweeting from. And then come the financial costs. Prevention, once again, is cheaper than cure. https://t.co/ceSV7NWZ9g

Wow. What are the implications of scheduling schools so that students are rarely outside and teachers can’t even use the bathroom? @DanielPink @edweekevents @educationweek #LeadersToLearnFrom

Babies don't need to be "taught" how to read and speak. Young children build early language and literacy skills best through everyday moments with caring adults - reading books, talking and playing: https://t.co/KQSqBN58we

Gentle touch - such as skin-to-skin contact - can encourage a baby’s #braindevelopment from day one. #Newborn babies that receive more physical affection show a stronger brain response than those who receive less attention: https://t.co/ph39rDuPUa #AZFTF

Sleep is good for #parents and #babies, but how do you get more if it? A study has shown that babies who are more active during the day get the most sleep at night: https://t.co/CFX92sn6D2 #AZFTF

#Kids need space and time to play - it's important for their healthy development at every age! Children’s play changes as they grow and each stage helps develop their problem solving, creativity and social skills: https://t.co/QB9OM3xrSS

#AZFTF’s Liz Barker Alvarez spoke on a panel this morning at @ExpMattersAZ’s Encore breakfast. “The older generation understands how crucial the first 5 years (of a child’s life) are.” The panel was talking about connecting younger and older generations. #ExperienceMatters
