Early childhood development is an incredibly important time in a child’s life. It lays the foundations for academic success, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health and strong communities as well as successful parenting.
Studies of early brain development have demonstrated that children’s experiences during their formative years shape their future learning, behaviors and physical and mental health. Healthy development occurs when children are exposed to nurturing impulses and environments which encourage growth and learning throughout their lives.
The Center on the Developing Child has created this resource to assist parents, teachers, and policymakers in understanding how best to nurture their children’s healthy development. It draws from decades of scientific research and offers advice for creating an optimal early life environment that nurtures both physical and psychological well-being for families throughout their early years.
