To ensure that young children are ready to enter kindergarten, elementary schools are becoming increasingly involved in early childhood education (ECE), and more and more principals have to deal with ECE issues.

- Gain a foundational understanding of how very young children learn
- Create quality environments and practices for teaching early learners
