As a part of her Great Start program, Gov. Jennifer Granholm today
announced the Family Independence Agency's distribution of a new CD-ROM to
child care providers.
The disc contains information on how to best prepare young children for
their later education, including articles about early brain development,
appropriate nutrition, how to communicate with a fussy baby and proper
discipline.
Granholm said when launching her Great Start Program in 2003 that a young
child's experiences affect the way they learn, think and behave forever.
Obviously, appropriate guidance in day care is important.
“As parents, child care providers and concerned citizens, it is our job to
ensure that Michigan's youngest and most vulnerable residents are
well-protected and cared for in a safe and loving environment," said
Granholm in the disc's introduction.
