"He recognizes that closing the achievement gap starts by investing more heavily in what happens to children before they ever step inside a school. “Early childhood learning is crucial because it lays the foundation for a child's future development, academic success, and social-emotional well-being,” he tells us. “During these formative years, children rapidly develop cognitive, language, and motor skills essential for learning. Early education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and social interaction, setting the stage for later achievement.""
