All children are born learning.
Together, we shape their learning.

The first few years provide the foundation for a child’s future success because that’s when the brain architecture-the structure of the brain-is being built. In fact, a young child’s brain is twice as active as an adult’s during that construction. That’s why a baby has 1,000 trillion synapse connections at 8 months….but adults have only 500 trillion.

Framework support a house. With the right kind of interactions during the first few years, a baby’s brain architecture becomes strong.

By the age of 5, many children in high-risk environments are already developmentally behind. This gap only grows over time-undermining school readiness and success in life.

The quality of young children’s environment and social experience has a decisive, long-lasting impact on their… ability to learn.

A child’s day-to-day experiences affect the structural and functional development of his or her brain, including intelligence and personality.
