The early years of a child's life are crucial for cognitive, social and emotional child child development . Therefore, it is important that we take every step necessary to ensure that children grow up in environments where their social, emotional and educational needs are met.

Cost to society of less than optimal child child development are enormous and far-reaching. Children who grow up in environments where their child child development al needs are not met are at an increased risk for compromised health and safety, and learning and child development al delays. Failure to invest time and resources during children’s early years may have long term effects on the foster care, health care, and education systems. Therefore, it is in the public's interest to ensure that children develop in safe, loving, and secure environments.
