"The brains of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers undergo rapid physical and neurological growth. Children's environments and interactions with caregivers literally shape the development of the brain creating a framework that lasts a lifetime." -Teachstone
BEFORE HEAD START PRESCHOOL
Q: How can I support my child's development before
he/she enters Head Start?
A: Long before your child enters school, he/she is already learning. Babies are born wired to learn. As your child's most important & invested adult, your daily intentional interactions with your child will nurture this learning & make a significant difference in his/her development. See how your intentional interactions can help support your young child's development below.

NEWBURGH BASICS
NEWBURGH BASICS
HSEOC partnered with NECSD's The Newburgh Basics Campaign, which is inspired by the fact that 80% of brain development happens in the first three years of life. During this period, skill gaps between socio-economic, racial, and ethnic groups become clearly apparent. The Newburgh Basics are 5 fun & simple ways families can give their child a head start
before they enter Head Start.
Maximize Love, Manage Stress
Young children thrive when their world seems loving, safe, and predictable.
Explore Through Movement & Play
Young children's coordination, strength & overall health is dependent on their activities through movement & play.
Talk, Sing & Point
Young children are born wired to learn . They learn and mimic sound from infancy. Making these moments meaningful will help support their development & help them thrive.

The more we read with young children, the more prepared they become to enjoy reading and to do well in school.
