#WednesdayWisdom from Willow. Did you know that at birth a baby's brain is about 25% the size of an adult brain. By age 5 a child's brain has grown to about 90% the size of an adult brain. That's a lot of growing! This fact is the reason early learning experiences are so critical to child development. Children have twice as many synapses (brain cell connections) at this age than adults. Providing rich, positive learning experiences at this age is so important. #mindsprout #earlychildhooddevelopment #montessoripreschool #braindevelopment #learnthroughplay #houstonhomeschool #oldtownspring #houstontx
