Did you know that by the age of five, a child’s brain reaches nearly 90% of its adult size? But what’s even more important than size is what’s happening inside—because those early years shape a lifetime of learning.
At Star Smiles Nursery, we understand that the early childhood years are a powerful window of opportunity for brain development. As highlighted in research shared by the Babilou Family’s Sustainable Education series, this is a key phase of neuroplasticity—when the brain is most adaptable and ready to learn.
Dr. Catherine Gueguen, a renowned pediatrician and neuroscience advocate, emphasizes that warm emotional connections, loving interactions, and rich sensory experiences are essential during this stage. These everyday moments—singing songs, reading stories, exploring textures, and receiving comfort—actually build the brain’s architecture for skills like language, emotional regulation, empathy, and cognitive development.
That’s why every smile, every kind word, and every curious discovery at Star Smiles Nursery is more than play—it’s brain-building magic.
Because here, we don’t just care for children—we nurture their future.
