Early development of language and literacy provides the groundwork for later social and learning achievement. Rich, responsive connections, exposure to a wide range of vocabulary, and entertaining interactions with songs, stories, and gestures all contribute to the development of these areas (Masterson, 2018). Language and well-being have a connection, like children who feel safe and heard are more willing to talk about their qualities and take chances with communication.

Teachers require purposeful teaching methods based on attentive caring to support this. Using gestures, singing songs, repeating words, naming feelings, and interpreting dialogue are all examples of this. In order to build trust and meaning-making, qualified educators explain routines and follow the children's lead (Zero to Three, 2021; Kaywork, 2020).

Using several languages in multilingual environments, having back-and-forth serve-and-return conversations, and imparting early literacy skills through books, pictures, and visual Cues are all examples of effective methods (Zheng et al., 2024; NCRLAP, 2011). Particularly for children from linguistically and culturally diverse homes, translating fosters recognition and understanding.
