Executive Function Focuses on the development of skills necessary for learning, such as self-regulation, attention, and persistence. Social and Emotional Development Supports your child s ability to express and regulate feelings and develop relations with others. Physical Development and Wellness Gives your child opportunities to build large- and small-muscle skills, strength, stamina, and knowledge needed to live a healthy lifestyle. Cognitive Development Supports the mental processes needed to think, make sense of the world, and understand knowledge across different subjects, including mathematics, science, and social studies.
