Early Learning Education

Early learning education is the foundation for a child’s holistic development during their critical early years, from infancy to preschool. It focuses on delivering age-appropriate, meaningful learning experiences that nurture cognitive, emotional, physical, and social growth. These programs are designed to spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love for learning through play, exploration, and intentional activities.

What is Early Learning Education?

Why is it important?

The early years of life are crucial for brain development, with neural connections forming at an extraordinary rate. Early learning education lays the groundwork for a child’s academic success and overall well-being by building essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. Additionally, high-quality early education has a lasting positive impact, reducing educational disparities and supporting equitable opportunities for all children.

What are the benefits of early learning education?

• Empowered children: Early learning programs boost children’s confidence, creativity, and independence.

• Connected families: By involving parents in the educational journey, stronger relationships between home and school are fostered.

• Resilient communities: Quality early education reduces the educational gap and helps build thriving, equitable communities for future generations.

How does it help children?

At CEN-OREGON, we believe that early learning should be inclusive, authentic, and culturally responsive. That’s why we incorporate STEM/STEAM principles (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) into our programs.

Creative play

For toddlers aged 1 to 5 years, promoting imagination and foundational problem-solving skills.

Collaborative experiments

For preschoolers, encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, and early engineering concepts.

Sensory exploration

For infants aged 0 to 1 year, fostering curiosity and awareness of their environment.

Through hands-on activities and educational kits tailored to different age groups, children develop essential skills like:

How are parents involved?

Families play a vital role in their children’s learning journey. At CEN-OREGON, we provide workshops, resources, and guidance to empower both parents to actively participate in their children’s education. From take-home kits to community events, we offer practical tools to help parents support their children’s learning at home. We also create spaces for parents to connect, share experiences, and strengthen their role as partners in education.

By nurturing the partnership between families, educators, and communities, CEN-OREGON ensures that children grow in a supportive, culturally rich environment that values their unique strengths and experiences.
