When it comes to brain and cognitive development, the initial years of a child’s life are crucial. The primary reason is the rapid rate at which the brain grows from before birth into early childhood. While the brain continues to change and develop throughout adulthood, the first 8 years of a child’s life are the most important. It’s during this period the foundation is built for future health, learning and life success.
When it comes to brain development, there are 4 main areas: cognitive, motor, social and emotional, and language and communication. Now, brain development is an aspect of cognitive development. Cognitive development defines how a child’s intellect evolves. It includes problem-solving, learning and thinking skills. All other areas of development are impacted by these skills.
Most parents send their day kids to daycare because they want someone to look after them while they’re at the office. However, a good daycare program does much more than just that—it can enhance your child’s brain and cognitive development.
