Abstrakt: Well-developed executive function and early literacy skills are paramount for school and life success. Yet many adults (parents and early child educators) are unaware of what these skills entail and how they can be developed in preschoolers. In a pilot study, a curriculum designed to enhance executive function and early literacy in children ages two to five years was introduced to parents and the early childhood educator at a Stay and Play program running at the Coalhurst Parent Link site in southern Alberta. Although the study is still under way, preliminary reports suggest that parents and the early childhood educator have improved their understanding of executive function and early literacy and are enjoying the activities that build these skills in children.
