Did you know that roughly 85% of a child's brain is fully developed by the age of 3? The first 3 years of a child's life are more important than any other, with each interaction during these critical early years laying the foundations for their future. Research shows that by the age of 6 most of the brain is formed, however it isn't until around 25 years old that brain development is fully complete. This does not mean that we cannot learn after this age, it simply means that the quality of learning available to us will depend primarily on the foundations we have acquired in our early years. The first few years of childhood are crucial for making brain connections, the most positive connections made = the more responsive the brain is. Through hands-on play, our membership helps children develop crucial skills during their early years.
