Research shows early childhood is marked by critical periods — times when the brain is intensely adaptable to new sights, sounds, tastes, and touches. The ages zero - three are critical for brain development because that's when the baby's brain is far along and active enough to process new things. These things that are learned are later interpreted into that child's life. Most of the brain windows open and close during the first few years of a child life . These years are called “prime times ” for learning.
