To discover how interactions shape the child's brain in the first five years, check out this brief video from Harvard's Center of the Developing Child. 💕https://youtu.be/VNNsN9IJkws #nationalchildcareproviderday

Did you know that up to 90% of a child's brain is developed the first five years? Early childhood educators are brain architects, shaping the child's brain through caring interactions that create pathways in the brain for executive functioning. The foundation for learning, the foundation for life. 💕
We are proud to serve early educators as the local early childhood lead agency. #weARsouthcentral


Happy Childcare Provider Appreciation Day to our amazing providers in Calhoun, Columbia, Ouachita, and Union counties!
