Why Celebrate Brain Building?
We celebrate Brain Building because:
- Children’s brains grow the most rapidly the first five years of life!
- 90% of brain growth happens before kindergarten,
- Parents are children’s first and most important teachers and
- Families have what it takes to be brain-builders!
