Did You Know?

Early childhood education is critical because a child’s brain develops more than at any other time.

Description

Sage Sohier was commissioned by The George Gund Foundation to document early childhood education classes at pre-schools that were part of Invest in Children, Cuyahoga County’s public-private early childhood partnership. Her images, says the foundation, “offer a delightful glimpse into the daily lives of these preschoolers as they learn about the world around them and build the critical foundation needed for success in later life.”
A horizontally oriented, black-and-white photograph focuses on a boy with light skin sleeping on a low cot. Facing right with eyes closed, he wears a dark, patterned top. On our left, rumpled bedding rests in the corner. Behind the boy, posters titled "Rules" and "Today's Weather" hang on a divider. At the far right, a partition with vertical characters stands, framing the child's stillness against the decorated schoolroom walls.
