At what age can a child inhibit their emotions?
Why?
Because we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life. By combining scientific research, expert knowledge, and highly trained staff, we are transforming early education and empowering young minds for a lifetime of success.
Neuroscience shows that the early years (0-5) are the most critical period for brain development. Through structured, age-appropriate learning experiences, we maximise each child’s ability to think, learn, feel, and achieve, while fostering self-regulation, executive function skills, and cultural capital.
NeuroStars is now LIVE at Beaulieu Park Day Nursery - shaping the future, one child at a time!
