early learning

Early learning is any opportunity for an infant, toddler or older child to interact with a person, place or object in their surroundings. Such interactions contribute to brain development and lay the foundation for later learning.
Activities that support early learning in the newborn period include making eye contact, smiling, talking, singing, and gently massaging the infant. Responding in a timely manner or anticipating the infant's cues also promotes early learning.
