Parents must be aware that the ages 0-11 are a child’s formative years. During this period, they must learn how to build their child’s foundation through learning and experience.

 
 
This year, Superkids 2012, as part of the 33rd Manila International Book Fair, will help in educating parents on how to prepare these young minds for the needs of an ever changing world. A two-day interactive conference on early childhood will be held on September 14-15, Friday and Saturday, at Function Room 3, 3rd level of the SMX Convention Center.

Other experts and educators from all over the country will also be sharing their tips, opinions, perspectives, and expertise on early childhood education and provide discussions in between sessions.
