Child Brain Development Resources for Parents
By the time a child reaches kindergarten, 90% of their brain is already developed. As their parent, knowing how parents can affect child development can better prepare you to provide stimulating early experiences for them. It’s the best way to prepare your child care and school settings, and future success in life.
Our resources are based on the scientifically proven importance of early learning experiences and healthy brain development in children. They are designed to help parents and caregivers understand how children’s brains grow, develop, and thrive through skills like math and literacy.
