Giveaway Spreading Importance of Preschool

Giveaway

Illiteracy and poverty go hand-in-hand with both having their roots in early childhood because 85% of a kid's brain is developed before he or she reaches the age of five. In conjunction with the Save the Children Find The Words awareness campaign I am working on, I am thrilled to be hosting a $100 giftcard giveaway. 

Imagine a world where the reality is early childhood education for all. Just think... you could win a great prize just by helping spread the word about why we all need to do our part to give access to an early childhood education to every child regardless of socio economic status.

When you see something inspired by the word IMAGINE in your everyday life out in the world, take a photo of it. Then tag it #FindtheWordsMBE on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram so I can share your visions!

Imagine a World With Early Childhood Education Access for Every Child #FindTheWords

Enter MBE's $100 Giftcard #FindtheWords Giveaway


Introduction

As the school year begins, too many children are already falling behind. I am 1 of 30 bloggers helping #FindtheWords with @SavetheChildren to raise awareness of the need for early childhood education for all kids. I am participating in this social media campaign to highlight 30 words in 30 days -- to symbolize the 30 million fewer words that children from low-income homes hear by age 3.

Save the Children provides kids in need with access to books, essential learning support and a literacy-rich environment, setting them up for success in school and a brighter future. Learn more about Save the Children's work in the US and around the world.

The Heart of the Matter

Early education has always been at the heart and soul of who I am, both when I was a child myself as well as eversince I became a parent. I simply cannot imagine where I would be or where my four kids (now teens ages 17 and 18) would be without having had the privilege of access to early education.

With such a passion for education and a love of books and learning myself as well as for my kids and every child on the planet regardless of where they live or their social economic status, I couldn't be more excited to be working on this special back to school #FindtheWords program Save The Children is orchestrating.

Today's Sobering Early Education Statistics

According to Save the Children

• The first five years are so important to a child's development, shaping their cognitive, social and language skills that set them up early for a life of learning. In fact, evidence indicates 85% of brain growth occurs before the age of five.
• By age three, there is already a huge difference in kids from low-income homes as they hear on average 30 million fewer words than their more fortunate peers. This puts these children 18 months cognitively behind those with more wealth by the time they start school.
• Unfortunately 65% of little kids in needs have little or no access to books. More than 2/3 of households hit by poverty do not possess a single book that's appropriate for a child under age 5.
• Studies prove that moms and dads who talk less with their kids in an engaging and supportive ways have children less likely to develop fully intellectually when compared with youth who have the opportunity to hear a signficant amount of child-directed speech.
• Around the world, 171 million people would be lifted out of poverty simply if all students in low-come countries acquired basic reading skills.

The Solution

IMAGINE a world where the reality is early childhood education opportunities for every child. If you, I and every other mom can IMAGINE it, we can affect positive change that truly makes a difference. Simply put: Access to early childhood education can help us create the world we IMAGINE for all children.
