Early Care and Education Training and Resources
A child’s brain triples in size in the first 3 years of life, and we all know their bodies are growing at warp speed, too. Early childhood educators play such a big role in the health and development of kids. And the Strong4Life team is committed to helping educators instill healthy habits, build resilience and practice safety with all the children in their care.
