Early Learning

The DeKalb County ROE Early Learning Team supports families and builds capacity in communities to create opportunities for vibrant learning and optimal brain development for young children.
Because 90% of brain growth occurs in the first five years, the ROE strives to partner with families and community partners to support the optimal development of young children.
Basics DeKalb County is an early learning initiative housed at the ROE that provides five simple but powerful ways anyone can support brain growth and school readiness.
