New science tells us that our children’s first years are when they develop the foundation for all future learning. Every time we connect with them, it’s not just their eyes that light up- it’s their brains too. In these moments, half a million neurons fire at once, taking in all the things we say and do. We can’t see it happening but its all there, all at work. That’s why Vroom’s here.
