Vitrine sur la petite enfance (0 - 5 ans) [...] La petite enfance est une période critique qui mérite une attention particulière; c’est une période au cours de laquelle l’enfant se développe rapidement, tant sur les plans physique, cognitif et socioaffectif qu’en ce qui a trait à ses capacités d’apprentissage. Plusieurs travaux de recherche montrent que les expériences vécues dès le plus jeune âge peuvent avoir des répercussions jusqu’à l’âge adulte.
