<p>Little Moments Count is a statewide collaborative focused on helping parents and<br>caregivers learn about the importance of brain development in the first three years of life. Nearly 80 percent of brain growth happens in the first thousand days, and small moments of interaction - like talking, playing, reading and singing - help create the<br>pathways that build a child’s brain during this early stage of life. For more information you can visit at Little Moments Count dot org.<br>The Afternoon Drive is excited to be partnering with Little Moment Count to host conversations<br>focused on early childhood development. We’ll be guests every other week to talk about their<br>involvement in Little Moments Count and how they view the role of early childhood<br>development in creating bright futures and strong communities.</p>
