Place2Be is pleased to work with @Earlychildhood to use their films to bring the science of early brain development to life. We benefit from understanding the impact of early childhood interactions and the positivity this can have on a child's social and emotional development.
The science is clear: little moments matter. Our new series of animations, based on The Shaping Us Framework, explores how early brain development is influenced by the relationships babies and young children experience every day. Watch the full series now:
