Welcome to the Parent/Provider Portal! Parents and providers are given a wonderful opportunity to help children as they grow physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively during their first five years of life! In fact, the first five years are so important that research has shown how early childhood experiences can affect a child's future, even into adulthood.
WECA recognizes that parents and providers are the most important (and FIRST!) teachers during this time. We also recognize that it is not always easy to know what children want, need, or like when they are young. We hope to offer some tips and resources that parents and providers can use (and share) to support you as you shape a child's future.
Please come back often as we will be making frequent updates and adding a new early childhood topic each month.
