Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare www.education.state.pa.us | www.dpw.state.pa.us Office of Child Development & Early Learning The value of Early Childhood Education Quality early education is essential to healthy brain development and is the necessary first step in a child’s education. The circuits for key functions such as vision/hearing, language, and higher cognitive function develop most in the first five years of life. The creation of these circuits is affected by a child’s early learning environment. Bad experiences actually chew away at brain connections, while good quality experiences spur healthy development. After age five, the number of new connections slows, making it more difficult to build the necessary cognitive and social skills.
