Studies show 90 per cent of a child’s brain will be developed by 5 years of age.

It’s something parents and caregivers need to be aware of to help children during those early years to lay the foundation for the education and development. To that end, the province has launched a website to get parents and caregivers thinking about simple ways they can interact with their child while also helping in their development.

Even something as simple as playing with a ball together helps motor skills, develops hand-eye coordination, social skills and problem solving. The more time you spend helping your child learn, the better they will develop. You can click on the link below to access the new website.
