Abstract	Children with significantly advanced development are not a tiny minority. Although some 8-15 percent of young children fall into this category, teachers in the early grades identified only 2 percent of such children. Characteristics of preschoolers who learn at an accelerated pace and guidance in supporting them are readily available in the literature. However, teachers and families need to collaborate to identify such children and create supportive educational environments. Educators need to be knowledgeable about the characteristics of young gifted children so they can address their unique needs. Preschool teachers and other professionals, such as psychologists and physicians, are in a position to assist families with children who have special needs, including children who have cognitive, physical, social, or emotional skills that are different from or more advanced than those of their age peers. Recognizing these children's unique characteristics is the first step in helping them reach their full potential. (Contains 10 online resources.) (ERIC).
