 Early childhood, ages birth to eight, is the most rapid period of development in a human’s life, which can leave those surrounding a young child sprinting to keep up.

We delve into early childhood topics, providing relevant and reliable information to keep you up to date. Each episode features interviews with academic experts, educators, providers, families, or informed community members.

We talk about how meaningful time spent with an adult can spark curiosity, build confidence, and support the development of lifelong learners. Our conversation highlights how both success and mistakes offer powerful learning opportunities, and how allowing space for mistakes can help young people discover their interests, passions, and potential.
