Early Learning

Our Services

The first five years of a child's life are the most important for brain development, especially for at-risk children. Our early learning programs promote the healthy growth and development of young children. We also support families with information and resources so they can give their children the best possible start in life.

For more information about any of these programs, e-mail the Early Learning team.

PlayBright® Early Learning System

The PlayBright Early Learning System is a series of age-specific (birth - 5 years) educational guidebooks that provide important developmental information and fun activities for children and their teachers, parents, or caregivers. All brain-boosting activities, which are based on the latest early brain research, promote the healthy development and growth of the whole child. The innovative PlayBright system was developed by early childhood experts at Children's Home Society of Washington.
