Getting an Early Start to Education
Firbank Grammar School’s Principal Jenny Williams and Head of Turner House Mel Smith discuss the importance of early education. Early education is crucial to a child’s development, which is why Firbank Grammar School's early learning programs are much more than childcare, with educators preparing children for a life of successful learning.
Healthy development in the early years (particularly birth to three) provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation. What can we do during this critical period to ensure that children have a strong foundation for future development? Firbank Grammar School helps explain how important early education is to help parents, caregivers, practitioners, and policymakers understand the importance of early childhood development and learn how to support children and families during this critical stage.
