Though learning continues throughout life, there are "prime times" during which the brain is most effective in processing certain types of experiences, and many of these prime times occur during the first 3 years of life. The first three years see the most rapid changes of all of life due to the bombardment of experience (everything is new!). At this time, the brain is most flexible and prepared to learn.

If the child does not get this experience NOW, he /she will forever miss the opportunity to benefit from it

These early learning experiences are crucial determining factors for emotional and intellectual development and will ultimately affect how well a child will perform in school.

Since the quality of a child's earliest experiences has a critical impact on brain development; therefore, the quality of infant and toddler child care has a critical impact as well.

Studies in neurobiology, neurodevelopment, and early intervention show that the years birth to school age are critically important for brain development. During this critical time, children develop the essential language and cognitive skills required to learn, develop their ability to manage emotions and stress, and learn to cooperate with others. Properly shaping the architecture of the brain in these earliest years of life has profound benefits in adult life.

This is why early childhood education need not focus only on school subjects, but also social and emotional skills that the child will need at the next level of education. That means that they education is not simply limited to the classroom, but takes place also in the playground. The most important lessons for a child usually come outside of the classroom setting. Nestled in almost one acre of greens, at I bambini, this aspect of the approach is completely catered to.
