NOVI, Mich., March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Thinking about how COVID-19 has affected your child\u2019s educational growth?

\n Early Education Matters <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

According to the National Institute for Early Education Research, in March 2020 (pre-pandemic), about 60 percent of children ages 3 to 5 attended preschool. By July 2020, this number had fallen to 8 percent. Many programs closed classrooms for 74 percent of enrolled children; 45 percent of children whose classrooms remained open stopped attending preschool. As it continues to advocate for precautions that reduce health and safety risks, the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasizes the important role schools play in children\u2019s educational, social, physical and emotional development, noting that critical school skills are best learned through hands-on experiences, collaboration and play.

\n Measuring Progress Ensures Every Child is Prepared\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\u201cSince each child\u2019s learning needs are unique, Learning Care Group meets every child where they are developmentally to build a foundation for future success,\u201d said Dr. Susan Canizares, Chief Academic Officer, Learning Care Group. \u201cWhether a child is experiencing learning loss, returning to preschool after taking a break from care, or would benefit from enrichment programs that further promote continued growth, our customized approach ensures developmental goals are met and paves the way to a life-long love of learning.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beginning with infants, Learning Care Group\u2019s exclusive School Readiness Pathway provides a research-based guide to elementary school that\u2019s personalized to meet the needs of every child. Parents can be assured that their child\u2019s learning goals are met at every stage, thanks to a data-driven process that links individualized observation with assessment and lesson planning.<\/p>\n

Programs and curricula for toddler through Pre-K students are supported with Learning Care System (LCS), the company\u2019s proprietary digital lesson planning tool developed in partnership with Assessment Technology, Inc. Using LCS, teachers continually evaluate every child\u2019s growth and select learning activities to promote progress in critical school-readiness capabilities in 10 key developmental areas that advance academic and life skills.<\/p>\n

Leveraging data on each child\u2019s progress, LCS enables teachers to select developmentally appropriate lesson plans from a comprehensive bank of more than 6,000 learning activities. Each day also provides opportunities for spontaneous teachable moments, backed by the assurance of learning that comes from intentionally planning for goals and expectations. The combination is how Learning Care Group makes the most of learning as an art \u2013 and a science.\u00a0<\/p>\n
