Getting Ready for School Begins at Birth: How to Help Your Child Learn in the Early Years

Children are born ready to learn. Children are naturally curious beings who are motivated to make sense of the world around them. The brain is the only organ that is not fully formed at birth. During the first 3 years, trillions of connections between brain cells are being made. A child’s relationships and experiences during the early years greatly influence how her brain grows. Children learn best through their everyday experiences with the people they love and trust, and when the learning is fun. This booklet is designed to help parents prepare their children for later learning in a fun and appropriate way.
