The first 1,300 days of life – from conception to age three – open a critical window of opportunity. During this period, children’s brains can form 1,000 neural connections every second – a once in a lifetime pace never matched again – and these connections are the building blocks of every child’s future. RIVHSA’s Early Head Start Institute (EHSI) brings together emerging and seasoned professionals, parents and partners to explore research and best practices that focus on this critical period to develop a child’s full potential and shape key academic, social, and cognitive skills that determine a child’s success in school and in life.
