Brain building with your child during their first 5 years gives them a strong base for lifelong learning

A baby’s brain is wired to grow from birth! It starts off with billions of neurons. During your child’s earliest years, their brain makes 1 million neural connections every single second.

That’s a lot of brain building! Positive, supportive experiences with adults help your child’s brain grow strong and flexible. That makes you your child’s #1 brain builder!

Positive connections with you help your child’s brain grow strong and flexible.
