Strengthen Families - Strengthen Communities


Research shows that the in the first five years of life a child develops 90% of their adult-size brain. Children may fall behind in both academic and social skills if they are notexposed to the right kinds of stimulation. Unfortunately, this gap only gets wider as chil-dren grow older. There are many ways to encourage a child's early development. KITE(Key Initiatives To Early Education) is a town-wide collaborative effort aimed at enhanc-ing early education and child care opportunities in the Town of Enfield by:• Providing information and resources about early education and child development

to families in Enfield. • Educating the community on the value of early learning. • Empowering families to maximize their child's readiness for school. • Offering professional development for early education providers in our community.
