From birth to age five, every moment matters.

Talking, reading, playing, and nurturing relationships help build strong, healthy brains long before the first day of kindergarten.

Children who receive early support for their individual strengths and challenges are more likely to enter school healthy, confident, and ready to learn. Research shows that children who begin school behind often continue to face challenges throughout their lives. There are only 1,900 days between birth and kindergarten.
