Everything a baby experiences in her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential through the formation of neural networks in the brain. This volume explains the process and how you can best nurture a child's natural development. No technical knowledge is necessary.

Ever wonder what is going on in a baby's brain? Or how you can best nurture a child's natural development? Or why exactly Bach is better than Mozart for babies? This book will explain why. No technical knowledge is necessary, as Shore makes recent neurological findings accessible to all those who come into contact with young children. Everything a baby experiences in his or her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential through the formation of neural networks in the brain. Through increasing the complexity of the early childhood environment in developmentally appropriate ways, we can nurture these neural networks. The visionary educational leader must look beyond the traditional boundaries of the K-12 system, and towards the space between the maternity ward and the kindergarten door.

Rebecca Shore has the distinction of having both a degree in music and doctorate in education administration and policy. She has published numerous articles on early childhood education and has lectured extensively on this topic. She has also produced a series of Bach CDs for children, highlighting the importance of developmental neural network stimulation.
