CHILD CARE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD (AGES 2+)
According to the National Education Organization, “providing a high-quality education for children before they turn five yields significant medium- and long-term benefits.”
Children who participate in early childhood educational programming are:
- Less likely to repeat a grade
- Less likely to be identified as having special needs
- More prepared academically for later grades
- More likely to graduate from high school
- Higher earners in the workforce
While the intention of Apex Care Professionals is not to become your child’s full time tutor or teacher, those with an early childhood education background are typically preschool and elementary teachers. These Care Professionals are accustomed to teaching children in a classroom setting. They are trained to provide educational support and activities for children ages 2+, help with homework, provide virtual learning support, and reinforce or establish routines related to study habits or regular chores around the house. This helps ease the transition when parents re-engage after a busy day at the office.
