1 Research on Brain DevelopmentFor decades researchers have been aware of the ex-traordinary Development of a child s Brain duringthe first five years of life. Recent advances in neuro-science have helped crystallize earlier findings, bringingnew clarity and understanding to the field of Early child-hood Brain Development . Children are born ready tolearn. They cultivate 85 percentof their intellect, personalityand skills by age five. The firstmonths and years of life set thestage for lifelong of the importance ofearly Brain Development , whathappens in the Early years hasserious implications for publicpolicy that will be explored laterin this the neuroscience ofbrain Development unfolding,we now know that (1) the way abrain develops hinges on the complex interplay betweenthe genes a person is born with and the experiences aperson has from birth on; (2) it actually takes up to 12 yearsfor the Brain to become fully organized, with parts of thecortex still to become organized through the later teen years;(3) the quality of an infant s relationship with his or herprimary caregivers has a decisive impact on the architectureof the Brain , affecting the nature and extent of a

The research and experience of the last quarter century logically lead to a call for Wisconsin to review its current investments in early education and to design a more coherent system of earl y care and education services.
