Tiny minds, big learning: What babies can do from birth
Join us for an inspiring training event for Early Years practitioners and parents
Recent neuroscience research reveals something remarkable: infants as young as two months old can categorise visual information, such as recognising the difference between animals and inanimate objects. This new understanding challenges long‑standing theories, including Piaget’s, which suggest that higher-level thinking develops much later.
For parents and early years practitioners, these findings open up exciting questions:
- How capable are babies, really, when it comes to early thinking?
- How do environments, interactions, and resources nurture these early cognitive skills?
- Are we underestimating what babies can do in our current baby room practice?
What this event offers
Join us for a dynamic training session that brings cutting-edge neuroscience to life. You’ll discover why babies should be seen as active learners from birth, and explore practical, easy-to-apply strategies to support early thinking and learning every day.
By connecting the latest research with effective early years practice, this session will help you create more respectful, responsive, and developmentally attuned environments for the very youngest children.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Understand how cognitive development begins far earlier than previously assumed
- Apply new insights to enhance your baby room environments, planning, and interactions
- Reflect on and evaluate your current practice through the lens of the newest neuroscientific evidence.
