A little about us

From birth to five years of age, kids form their most important adaptation skills. These fast changes taking place in our kids require us to hold early learning experiences to high standards so that we can give every child the best chance at success.

That's where Candelen steps in. We join with communities, leaders, and early childhood experts to offer educational programs, supportive services, and helpful tools.

Un poco sobre nosotros

Desde el nacimiento hasta los cinco años de edad, los niños forman sus habilidades de adaptación más importantes. Estos rápidos cambios que están ocurriendo en nuestros niños requieren que mantengamos las experiencias de aprendizaje temprano a altos estándares para que podamos darle a cada niño la mejor oportunidad de éxito. 

Es ahí donde entra Candelen. Nos unimos a comunidades, líderes, y expertos en la primera infancia para ofrecer programas educativos, servicios de apoyo, y herramientas útiles.

The implementation of Candelen programs in Nevada yields a transformative impact on various facets of child development and family well-being. By fostering an increase in child development knowledge, parents and caregivers are better equipped to understand and support their children's growth.  

The emphasis on improving childcare environments through developmentally appropriate practices has resulted in enriched settings that promote cognitive, emotional, and social development. Consequently, children within these enhanced environments exhibit improvements in physical, social, and emotional health, paving the way for a strong foundation in their overall well-being.  

The program's focus on increasing school readiness ensures that children are equipped with the necessary skills and competencies for a successful transition into formal education. Moreover, the emphasis on child health and safety has led to a noticeable enhancement in overall well-being.  

Through increased access to community resources, families are better connected to vital support systems, fostering a sense of self-efficacy and empowerment. The ripple effect of these positive changes extends to the creation of strong communities and networks, reinforcing the notion that holistic child development is a shared responsibility and a cornerstone for building thriving societies.
