Elected officials discuss early childhood development at Sunset Park
It’s never too early to learn.
Borough President Eric Adams, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Research Director for the Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) Cesar Zuniga, and others spoke and interacted with the children at Sunset Park’s Magical Years Early Childhood Development Center, 230 60th Street, a child care facility that provides full day support for families, at a Thursday, February 2 event that focused on encouraging early childhood development.
At the event, the speakers unveiled a report by the Early Children Development Task Force, which is co-chaired by Adams and Squadron and was formed in 2015. It addresses family risk factors that can impair early childhood development, such as illiteracy, mental illness and poverty.
