EARLY CHILDHOOD/PRESCHOOL

Clare-Gladwin RESD understands the importance of the first five years of a child's life and how it will affect future school preparedness and success. Our dedicated Early Childhood and Family Services staff is committed to providing and partnering with high-quality early childhood programs and services for the children and families in our school communities.

Every child is born with virtually the same number of brain cells, and how those brain cells are connected during the first few years of life determines how successful a child will be.

Can a child compensate for a lack of brain development in their early years?

To some extent, it takes a lot more effort, a lot more resources, a lot more time, and a lot more money. Too often, the child needs to do more to make up the necessary development, and their chances of success in school and life are limited.

“A child that starts behind stays behind.”
