Welcome to the Early Childhood Hub, a dedicated space curated by our team at MU Extension. As advocates for comprehensive early childhood development, the heart of our mission is a commitment to empowering and supporting adults who shape the early years of a child's life, which includes families, teachers and child care providers. Through this platform, we strive to equip you with valuable information and resources that can help foster children’s optimal growth and development. Join us on this journey as we collaborate to create a nurturing environment for our youngest learners.
