Quotes:
\\u201cWhat you\\u2019re helping children do is create a mosaic, putting all those ideas together in a knowledge network. If you don\\u2019t do it explicitly, many children cannot do it on their own.\\u201d \\u2014Susan B. Neuman

\\u201cWe\\u2019ve got to start early. We\\u2019ve got to start immediately, and know that children are eager to learn and use the content to engage them.\\u201d \\u2014Susan B. Neuman
