Children’s lives are packed with first-time experiences. As a caring, supportive adult who talks with them, asks them questions, offers comfort, and shares feelings, you’re nurturing a relationship that will help children feel safe and secure to explore and learn about the world around them. By using everyday moments for learning, you’re building their brains—and a strong foundation of early school readiness for success in school and in life. That’s the “power of now”!
