The first five years of a child’s life are the most formative, say officials with the Coalition for Wyoming Children http://www.c4wc.org/.

It is imperative children are ready to start school, said Jan Lawrence, chairwoman of the coalition. They must be healthy, have good family support and possess the language and behavioral skills needed to enter kindergarten.

Agencies across the state work to give children the start they need, but Lawrence said it is a "scattered" effort in which they "accomplish a little more" each year.
