The first five years are the most critical in the development of a child’s brain
During these years, children begin to develop their cognitive, social, emotional, and language skills and start to relate to and interact with the world around them.
In fact, from birth to age three, children grow and learn at the most intense rate; these are the years when children are learning how to learn.
The first five years represent the pivotal juncture of nurture and how they shape the development of young minds.
Children educated in their first five years are:
Why is it so important to start services as early as possible?

70% less likely to be arrested for a violent crime
50% less likely to become teen parents
