EARLY CHILDHOOD OVERVIEW

Early childhood development plays a key role in determining whether a child will reach his or her full cognitive, motor and social potential. The brain is most flexible early in life allowing it to adapt to numerous experiences and interactions. This means it is easier and more effective to impact a child’s developing brain early on.

Holistic developmental stimulation in the early years has a lasting impact, and will affect a child’s future growth and development.
