Lauri's Goal-A Child's First 2,000 Days Matters

Did you know a child's first 2,000 are crucial to healthy development?  These days lay the foundation for shaping strong social and emotional skills and building healthy habits that last a lifetime. 

I have been working for Child Care Aware of Missouri for the past 7-1/2 years as the Director of Training.  Through this time, it has been a honor to support early educators to increase skills and knowledge of social and emotional development as well as children's nutrition and physical activity. These opportunities have strengthen the resiliency, relationships, health and wellness of Missouri's youngest citizens and their families. This is just one of the many efforts Child Care Aware of Missouri does everyday to support educators, families and mostly importantly children. Please join me is donating to this important cause.
