At Annunciation, we have partnered with Catholic Charities of Denver to start enrolling children as young as 3 years old into our full-day Catholic Charities Early Childhood Education program. In early childhood education, students start learning the basics of Speaking, Literacy, Mathematics, and other Academic & Social skills. The research on the importance of strong early childhood education (ECE) is unanimous: a strong early childhood program is crucial for robust social, emotional, cognitive, and language development of young children.
