Early Life and Education

Early years in a child’s life are critical for their growth and development. During this time, children learn a great deal and form meaningful connections with their primary caregivers.

At this age, children learn how to speak, walk and feed themselves independently. While these abilities are invaluable for a young child’s development as an independent individual, they also require active stimulation and socialization with other kids their age.

The science of child development explains how experiences from birth, even prenatally, shape a child’s learning capacity, behaviors and physical and mental health. It also serves to illustrate why investments in early childhood education are critical for society’s prosperity and success.
