Childhood Develoment with YHF

As you know, at Learn and Lead we are extremely passionate about early childhood development, so we were more than happy to support the Youth Help Foundation in an initiative to raise awareness. 

"The Youth HELP Foundation empowers vulnerable children and young people to maximize their innate potential through partnerships with other non-profit and civil society organizations that together ensure equitable access to resources for health, education and literacy programs." If you would like to know more about the Youth HELP Foundation, visit their website at www.youthhelpfoundation.org.

In this video we discuss the type of development that we would like to see children have in the early childhood years that make them ready for school and ready to learn. We want them to be able to:

• Communicate their needs to others.
• Speak in complete sentences.
• Be able to take care of themselves (to dress themselves, use the bathroom, manage their bodies)
• Be able to draw with pencils, markers, and crayons.
• Put together puzzles.
• Be able to play active games.
• Have print awareness.
• Be ready to learn and grow!
