Minds at the
Right Time

With any smart investment, timing is


everything, which is especially true with
language acquisition. When parents invest in
their children’s English learning during the
early childhood years, they are doing it at an
optimal time because:

• From birth to age 5, a child’s brain develops


more rapidly than any other time in life.

• Research has shown that 85% of the brain


develops before the age of 5.

• A child’s preschool years are a period of


extremely rapid brain development, making
it crucial for this age group to receive proper
stimulation.

• Recent scientific research shows that many


higher-level abilities—including motivation,
communication, problem solving, and more—
are formed in these early years.
