Birth to Three: Early Experiences Shape Lifelong Learning

This course explores the profound impact of early relational, sensory, and cognitive experiences on brain development from birth to age three. Grounded in current neuroscience and attachment theory, participants will examine how everyday interactions—feeding, soothing, play, movement, and language—sculpt the architecture of the brain and lay the foundation for lifelong learning, emotional regulation, and relational safety.
