The First Five Years Matter Most
You already know that to thrive, children need a great deal of nurture. Little surprise then that studies increasingly show that the most important years for child development are between birth and age five. Children's early experiences, both good and bad, continue to affect them for the whole of their lives.

What We Need To Do
These first five years - The Early Years - cannot be left to chance. As individuals, and together as a community, we all need to understand, support, and provide what is best, for all children - especially during their early years, from 0 to 5.

How UEY Helps Us
UEY can help give all of the children in our community the best possible start in life. UEY will help us to see how our children have been doing, what has been working well to support them, and what we can do together to give our children an even better beginning!
