# Children's Home Society of Florida

Strong, Stable Beginnings The Start of Lifelong Learning From prenatal development through age five, a child’s brain grows faster than at any other time in life. This is a critical window to set the foundation for future success. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Administration for Children and Families) , 80% of brain development occurs before age 5 , making the earliest years a critical window for support and intervention. We help ensure families have what they need early on—strong relationships, healthy physical and mental development, early learning opportunities, and safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive. And it works: 99% of children and families enrolled in our programs remain safely at home together, free of abuse and neglect. Prenatal care, parent education, good nutrition, and stable home environments all support healthy brain development. High-quality early learning programs like preschool and prekindergarten build the cognitive, social, and emotional skills children need to succeed in school and beyond. When support starts early, children enter kindergarten ready to learn – and ready to thrive. More on Ready to Grow
