From the moment they are born, children grow immensely both physically and mentally, developing essential intellectual, emotional, and social abilities in the very first years of life. When cultivated and allowed to flourish, these abilities lay the foundation for a productive and happy existence, and allow young children to form secure attachments with adults and other children, demonstrate enhanced language and math skills, and develop superior cognitive and social skills.
