Family ResourcesA child's ability to learn is built upon a neurological foundation that begins before birth and is largely in place by age 5. The quality of a child's earliest experiences, interactions and relationships physically shapes the neural architecture of the developing brain during those first five years. The strength of that architecture affects learning capacity and the ability to regulate emotions for the rest of the child's life. Our vision is that all Nebraska children begin kindergarten with the experience they need to become successful students and productive citizens: http://firstfivenebraska.org/
