Course Overview
Research has shown that promoting early brain development to support life-long health is dependent on having consistent and nurturing relationships within the first few years of life. Beginning at birth, babies depend entirely on their caregivers to explore the world. A baby’s need to form close connections and secure relationships is as critical as their need for food. Building a strong emotional connection with your baby supports your child’s lifetime of learning.
