Early Childhood, those weeks, months and years in the life of a child from birth through age eight, continues to gain national attention and support. Scientifically-based research has provided both parents and educators with a new understanding of children's rapid brain development from the beginning. Researchers have proven that children who experience just one year in a high-quality learning environment experience significant, positive developmental gains compared to children who may not have the advantage of quality care.
