Greetings to Chair Kimball and to all of the Members7713H# v aa ito` nty'C ncil
I am writing in SUPPORT of Resolution No. 216-23. As we know, Early Learning/Early
Childhood Education PROVIDES:
• Young children with a strong foundation for their future learning and development.
• Immediate and long-term benefits for keiki
• Immediate and long-term benefits for our communities as a whole
• More than 85% of brain development occurs from birth to age 5, preschool
provides children with opportunities to develop social, emotional, cognitive, and
physical skills.
• Prepare children to be school ready for kindergarten, which has long-lasting impact
on their future education and development.
Never before have early learning providers and resource agencies come together in West
Hawaii under one roof.
Your generous support of our Early Learning 'Ohana Festival will allow early learning
professionals the opportunity to
• Showcase their program(s)
• Recruit keiki to increase enrollment
• Recruit staff for workforce development
• Networking
Community education and awareness of early learning resources that are available to
families.
