Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every eight seconds within the United States, a new baby is born; that is 10,380 babies per day and nearly 4 million babies per year. At no other time in a childs life will his or her parents be more engaged and desirous to foster development than during the transition years from newborn to toddler. Additionally, during these critical early-childhood years, a childs brain develops at its fastest rate. Unfortunately, despite their motivation and best intentions, most parents do not know how to best support and enhance their childs learning development. Governor of Maryland Robert Ehrlich best described the importance of early childhood learning by saying: Experts tell us that 90% of all brain development occurs by the age of five. If we dont begin thinking about education in the early years, our children are at risk of falling behind by the time they start kindergarten". This is a resource designed to help parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers actively participate in accelerating a childs learning development. The book consists of hundreds of age- and developmental-aligned learning stages, activities, and milestones, as well as steps the reader can perform to introduce or reinforce these components.
