When Laura Aguirre\u2019s daughter Idali turned 3 years old, she knew she wanted to provide her with a safe, quality early learning environment where she could attend preschool and prepare for kindergarten while developing a love for learning. Aguirre found those characteristics at Nadaburg Preschool in Wittman. The preschool is part of the Quality First<\/a> Program, a signature program of First Things First, which partners with child care and preschool providers to make quality improvements that research proves help children thrive.<\/p>\n

Quality First<\/p>\n

Child care programs committed to quality improvement, going beyond regulatory requirements to better support Arizona’s youngest kids.<\/p>\n

These include improvements such as education for teachers to expand their skills in working with young children and coaching to help providers create learning environments that nurture the emotional, social and academic development of every child. \u201cOn Idali\u2019s first day, she was the only Spanish speaking child in her class,\u201d Aguirre said. Idali\u2019s teacher learned basic Spanish words to support Idali\u2019s learning and language development in the classroom. \u201cHer teacher worked with her to learn colors and numbers,\u201d Aguirre said. \u201cBy the time winter break came, Idalli was confident, using full sentences with her teachers and classmates in English.\u201d Idali is now in the second grade at Nadaburg Elementary School.<\/p>\n

She has developed a love of reading and her favorite subject is math. \u201cIdali arrived at school with an internal motivation to learn,\u201d said Idali\u2019s second-grade teacher Linda Straub. \u201cQualities like that are established at a young age. Peers are drawn to Idali because of her natural empathy, friendliness and leadership qualities. They look to her when they need extra help.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
