At the Department of Early Learning, we believe nurturing all aspects of a child's health is important as they grow and develop during the first years of life. Making sure that children have access to high-quality, ongoing physical, mental, and oral health care is one of the best ways that parents and caregivers can keep children healthy and ready to learn.
