Research on brain development has documented that the future education and well being of a child is formed very early. The majority of the brain is developed during the first three years of life. Research shows that early experiences and early learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. Infants and toddlers are pre-programmed to learn but they can only learn from the experiences we provide for them.
