The first three years of life are crucial to a baby’s brain development. Each day newborns progress physically, mentally and socially making infant learning an important aspect of childhood education.

Positive experiences that challenge and captivate infants are the keys to learning. Seeing, touching, tasting, smelling and hearing all help with cognitive reasoning, motor skills and tactile function.Toys and activities which encourage using multiple sense, like different textured objects or listening to music, are highly especially helpful.

Every time a young child uses their sense, neural activity is encouraged. And the more activity the more development. These connections are important because they create the way that child will think, feel and learn throughout prekindergarten, elementary school and into adulthood.

Early education is a natural phenomenon in an infant’s life, not reserved only for the classroom. Every single time parents, siblings and family members engage the child their impressionable mind takes in a little more. As soon as a baby is born, it begins to learn something new everyday. Right away, infants can start to build learning skills, emotions, social skills as well as relationship skills, establishing them as a person.

Infant males and females both have the same needs for mental, physical, emotion and social lessons. They have an equal capability for learning as well as necessity for attention and reinforcement. The earlier a child can start having positive learning experiences; the better off they will be for future development and success in school, jobs, relationships and life in general.
