Hello, I thought you would find the following article interesting. Link: http://www.plan4preschool.org/docs/single/san-luis-obispo-strategic-plan-00/ Download: http://www.plan4preschool.org/documents/slo-sp-00.pdf Abstract: Young childhood is a critically important period of time. The experiences young children have, and the conditions in which they live, greatly influence the kinds of adults they will become. In ways that science is just now beginning to understand, and that our society is not even close to acknowledging, intellect, emotions, social interaction, and physicality in adulthood are intimately linked with childhood development. Deprivation at an early age, even conditions in the womb, can substantially, perhaps irreversibly retard development, and, therefore, can affect a person’s entire life. The Children and Families Commission of San Luis Obispo County was created as a result of the passage of Proposition 10 in November, 1998. Its intent is to provide a comprehensive and integrated system of prevention and early intervention services for children ages zero to five years and their families in order to help our county’s young children to grow and develop to their maximum potential.
