Groundbreaking research shows us that early experiences during the first five years of life fundamentally shape brain architecture, with young brains making more than 1 million new neural connections per second!  By age five, a child’s brain will reach 92% of its eventual adult size.  While genes make up the brain’s blueprint, positive experiences and quality engagements with adults set a child’s foundation for all future learning.

Brain building moments are everywhere.  Whether it’s mealtime, bath time, or anytime in between, there are always ways to nurture our children’s growing minds.
