Kindergarten readiness is more than just knowing A

Kindergarten readiness is more than just knowing ABCs and 123s. It is about developing the whole child, including what it takes to promote social and emotional growth so that our youth cannot only read, write and compute, but work well with others, have their curiosity engaged and develop creative problem-solving skills — all of which are necessary for success in the 21st century workforce. Our Early Learning strategic initiative is important as research identifies the development that occurs between birth and age five is critical to “establishing the foundations of thinking, behaving, and maintaining emotional security.” (Scrivner &Wolfe, 2002).

Hello #WineWednesday! Do you ever wonder why do wines taste and smell so differently? Good farming equals great wine, and it is at this stage where the grapes also first come in contact with elements that can impact the wine’s ultimate characteristics. How the winemaker chooses to press the grapes, use steel or oak vessels, and how long the wine sits also take part in impacting the flavors and smells of a wine. The best wine starts in the vineyard. One of the reasons that makes drinking wine so much fun.

April 7 of each year marks the celebration of Worl

April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. Over the past 50 years this day has brought to light important health issues such as mental health, maternal care and childcare. The pandemic has pushed people into poverty, food insecurity, social and health inequities. On this World Health Day, the World Health Organization’s campaign is focusing on building a fairer, healthier world for everyone.
Today we are extra grateful for our Healthcare Initiative. Our strategic initiatives partners with local non-profits, local colleges, universities and other foundations with the goal of creating long-term solutions to fill the gaps. NCEF’s Healthcare Initiative helps children in need with essential medical and healthcare services that have measurable outcomes and a life-changing impact. #WorldHealthDay 2021 @WHO
