The Early Years Exchange

Welcome to The Early Years Exchange, a blog dedicated to providing expert insights and research-backed resources on early childhood education. At ABC Head Start Society, our team of educators, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and family support workers collaborate to support young children and their families.

Drawing from interdisciplinary expertise, we address common parenting questions, challenge misconceptions, and share practical strategies to help children thrive during their most critical years of development. Join us as we navigate the early years together—because every child’s journey deserves a strong start.
