Helping Your Child Value Education and Learning Print E-mail
Parents are a child’s first and most important teacher. Even before your child enters school, show your interest by reading, counting, sorting, asking questions, making rhymes, singing songs and valuing play as the way young children learn. If your child is under age six, contact your County’s First Five Commission to learn more about early childhood development and programs in your area. Start by visiting the State Commission website at www.ccfc.ca.gov. Make sure your child is registered for kindergarten. Visit the school.  Make sure your school aged child gets plenty of rest, good nutrition, and is up and dressed to get to school on time. Even Jr. High and High School students need a schedule that provides rest, nutrition, and physical activity.
