Development is education. 🧠📚

We often think of education as starting on the first day of kindergarten, but a child’s most critical learning happens long before they ever step into a classroom. The way a child develops from ages 0–3 builds the foundational brain architecture that makes all future learning possible.

That is why initiatives like the Alliance for Children’s Rights’ 'Watch My Baby Grow' tool are so vital. By helping caregivers track developmental milestones early, we aren't just checking boxes—we are identifying when a child might need extra support, like speech or occupational therapy, to stay on track.

Every student deserves an equitable path to higher education. 🎓
⁠
Youth in foster care change schools an average of 8 times, losing up to 6 months of progress with each move. These disruptions create massive roadblocks—but with the right legal protections and targeted resources, higher education is well within reach.
