| We are a foundation established to help children with their obstacles. We provide classes and counseling through our Habitat Partners to give them the tools that they need to succeed. According to the Center of Excellence for Early Childhood Development positive experiences in early childhood have a positive long-term impact on children's development. A child's development is largely determined by the quality of the care provided by the parents. When choosing a child care centre you need to find out if they are trained in child development and early childhood education. You also need to know what the child care center learning program covers, such as does it cover all aspects of child development (emotional, physical, motor, social, moral, linguistic and cognitive). A high-quality child care center promotes the development of language skills and other skills needed to ensure a good start in school.

Keeping Their Eyes and Ears Open: Help Young Children to Read, Write and Make Connections | | | | | | | | | | | |  |  How do I know if my child is in need of special guidance?
By raising your awareness and by getting involved with identifying common problems facing children. Research has shown that a child with positive social skills is more likely to succeed in school and in life. Some children need a lot of help to develop these skills. Research also shows that a child who is not able to interact positively with others tends to be unable to make and keep friends, and may have problems in school (such as acting out, and showing aggressive or violent behaviors).
A child with positive social skills: - Plays well with others;
- Feels comfortable in her environment;
- Shares and cooperates;
- Takes Turns;
- Identifies and expresses his feelings;
- Shows concern for others.
