PARENTS AS TEACHERS
Beginning at the Beginning:
As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher. Your home is your child's first school house. Your child will learn more during the early years than at any other time in life. How your child grows and learns during these years--beginning at birth--will affect his or her later development and success in school.
