Infant and Toddler Early Education and Care
(Infant: Birth to 11 Months)
(Toddler: 12 months to 2 Years)
​
Infants and toddlers learn best in environments where they can have secure relationships with caring and responsive adults, and where they feel safe and free to explore and learn. One key way infants and toddlers learn is by exploring their environment. Children will naturally be drawn to explore a space that is inviting. Whether the environment is a home, socialization space, or a childcare center, creating a safe, playful, and welcoming learning environment requires a thoughtful process. There are many things to think about, such as play spaces, areas for caregiving routines, and ways to integrate home cultures into children’s environments—all important aspects of an engaging environment for infants and toddlers.

With your child’s third birthday, the “terrible twos” are officially over, and the “magic years” of three and four begin—a time when your child’s world will be dominated by fantasy and vivid imagination. During the next two years, he’ll mature in many areas.

Who is eligible for Georgia's Pre-K Program?​
Children four years of age on September 1 of the current school year who are Georgia residents are eligible to attend Georgia's Pre-K Program during this school year. Georgia’s Pre-K Program is voluntary for families and for providers.
Participation in Georgia's Pre-K Program is voluntary for public schools and for private child development centers; there may not be enough spaces in every community for all four-year-olds who wish to participate. Every effort will be made to contract with eligible centers to create enough spaces for children who want to attend or to match children with available spaces in other Georgia Pre-K Program providers in the area.
