How do you create an effective and meaningful program when you have little or no prior knowledge about a child and limited opportunity to follow up?
No matter how short a time that a child is in an education and care setting, they deserve to have an individual program designed for them. You need to be able to emerge a baseline program that can be quickly and easily adapted to the specific skills and interests of each child.
Critical Years helps you create an initial program based on a child's age. As more information becomes available you modify your program to suit. Staff can quickly add resources associated with interests and adjust developmental prompts to closely match actual skills. Families can also participate with two-way communication no matter how irregular the education or care might be.
