A baby’s early experiences shape the brain’s architecture into a strong—or fragile—foundation for learning, health, and success in the workplace. Adverse early experiences, such as poverty, can weaken babies’ brain development and follow them their entire lives. The ability to build a strong, competitive economy in an increasingly global marketplace is jeopardized when the future of so many young children is compromised. All babies need good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences to foster healthy brain development.
