A graduate of the University of Illinois, Robert Heist, attorney at law, is the president of R. Connor & Associates, P.C, in Boston, Massachusetts. As the principal attorney, he attends to corporate dispute resolution, workplace disputes, family law, child protection issues, and regulatory compliance issues, among others. Robert Heist is the former chairman of the board of directors for the Hershey Trust Company. The trust manages several entities, including a cost-free early private school that integrates early childhood education (ECE) for low-income families.
The exposure variables during childhood regarding knowledge and skills, emotions, and social elements significantly affect a person's quality of life. These pose a challenge in impoverished communities, where children receive a delayed start due to a lack of resources. Globally, communities, decision-makers, and parents are becoming increasingly aware of the vulnerability of children to early triggers and stimulations. In impoverished surroundings, the resources otherwise useful for learning and play are diverted to urgencies such as food. However, efforts to level the playing ground with other social classes for ECE have become more pronounced globally, with enrollment increasing in the past decade, especially with the integration of early childhood centers in the local schools and dedicated standalone ECE centers and allocations for ECE teacher training. A World Bank report with case studies in Bulgaria, Eritrea, Indonesia, and Jamaica indicates a steadily increased uptake of ECE among the impoverished in the 2000s. Lastly, according to the World Bank Gender Labor Force Participation 2019 report, more women, especially from Latin America, Sub Saharan Africa, and the Caribbean, have growing access to the labor market, with increased funding for cottage industries, women groups, initiatives by the government and private sectors, and mandates on the gender rule in the available professions. The shifts significantly change the traditional child-rearing models, as the guardians have to leave earlier in the child's life than before, thus the need for an accommodative environment such as the ECE center.
