Importance of the Early Years

Watch the video below for great information on the importance of the early years!

Contact Us for more info

It is widely understood that early childhood (from before birth to age six) is the most important phase of development. The early years are the foundation for lifelong learning, behavior and health. 

Experiences in the early years shape the wiring of brain connections. 


Early brain development establishes a child’s social competence, cognitive skills, emotional well-being, language, literacy skills, physical abilities and is a marker for well-being in school and life resiliency (Blair, 2002; Posner & Rothbart, 2006; Shanker & Greenspan, 2009) .http://www.beststart.org/OnTrack_English/1-importance.html
