Foundational processes
- Attachment, self-regulation, the ability to represent learning in a variety of ways, and the ability to utilize strategies to sustain learning are foundational processes that must be in place in order for young children to maximize their learning opportunities.
- These processes appear to underlie children’s developing competence and predict success in school across the span from PreK-3rd grade.
- Educators ensure that the restructuring of early education of young children addresses the needs of African American, Latino and low-income students.
