welcome to our movie about early childhood education early childhood education is very important. many reasons for this the 1st all night all right but enough of that for we'll take it from here if you'd kept it up much longer we totally would have lost it and chances are we would have gotten you back to the point is beginnings matter. like a basketball to me doesn't play to the whole post. or an architect who says forget the blueprint let's just start building. on a stand up comic skips the set up and goes right to the punch line $28.00.

but the place beginnings matter most in life is well life. babies in the beginnings of humanity grew up in these very rich stand sounds. not just mothers but fathers grandmothers friends cousins and they were all there all the time with the children. so in that kind of context in that country village caring for children she changed them just getting the work done that you need they all took place at the same time. the but of course the world that we live in now is a very very different world from the bottom the. parents are increasingly having to raise kids on their own and they are also having to do it while the path to war in order to earn enough to even support a family not all. white people now have come to understand the news

of these early childhood years for reasons of brain development research and personality about are more important than anything else to make the central problem is that our society has i demolished capacity to support the urns and doing what society expects of them and needs them to. wire society which. is a bit of a mystery. the beautiful news that most folks don't know. these are our children our grandmothers country ignoring. them just going on as if it's going to correct itself not so fast before a traffic stop. so welcome to our movie about early childhood

education if we do our job by the time we're done you'll be using this baby and the world just a little bit differently because this isn't their next pose a it's a wake up call to start seeing early childhood know what it gives a grown up an issue a game changer to start seeing it as no small matter the only. way to. live what do you do it or house if you can't get a democrat. here. in atlanta this is how you do it your house. my name is rachel jeannie sheep i am and i and i and you have a i don't is your title i will be leaving the teacher. here at highland park name

school and take your summer down here and the elegant priyanka told me how she was having tea with her how did you start. your mum taught you how to talk to you today we're going to her unit about how you market. your study to develop this idea that you have this computer inside of your head think you can't see any controls everything about you. because you know because every day. the told the kids this age are far more capable thank you and i would never give them credit for that so when you give them the cherry else and you give them some knowledge they're able to run with it ok we're going to get the employer to snatch it number one why do we start home learning i don't know is it the fur. status quo. but the way to school

i want to. say you were born you started to do what. you think when you. learned. that. babies are born learning. there is a brain ready to learn and it's ready to learn especially from other people social brain. and our work on imitation i think helped show that. i remember sitting in front of this 42 minute old baby who had never seen a tongue before i poked out my tongue at her and she responded with tongue pretreatment back i opened and closed my mouth she watched my lips move and responded by opening closing from out since

a phenomenal thing the baby had never seen her own face but yet she was able to connect her own body to my body and it was a dramatic demonstration to me that we are born and learning. for some 2000 years people fuck that babies and young children were sort of defective grownups so they defined babies you know children in terms of all the things that they were missing 7 they were irrational they were egocentric they couldn't understand the relationship between cause and effect or take the perspective of another person the picture was that there really wasn't very much that was going on in til children got to be about the age that you went to school. here reading up close the curtain. on how city 5 years ago maybe we started really changing our view all right so we're just going to harvard and eventually win the popular now. allright that was the helpful guy was in there one

thing that happened is that we got new technologies that actually let us study babies in the way i rode and not a day that completely revolutionized our picture about what a spiritual life. this is very very were the 1st in the world to put be it imaging machines is perfectly safe and noninvasive like a stethoscope for the brain which is going to suddenly place him in a car seat is right away on the other i mean on the side you. magneto and stuff a lot of graffiti allows you to measure the firing of the neurons in the brain as a child is doing something like listening to a word too little monkeys high up in the trees or interacting with mom rather than one on. as you can see you were. mormons talking to they were getting very very good attention on the part of the infant let's look at right frontal for

the 1st time in history we can see what's happening in the baby's brain before they can talk back to us i think still sound. biblical how holmes and i feel what we found is that children learn more and more earlier than anyone ever expected babies are doing something remarkable without anybody knowing it's going on the baby brain is actually taking statistics as they listen to us talk they don't know words yet but they can tell the frequency of the sounds. while you're talking to the baby the baby's brain is reacting trying to get ready to talk back to you. and people have the tendency to think there's nothing going on in there that's going on up there is rocket science. in fact the 1st 3 years of life are like a big bang for the brain and explosion of 86000000000 neurons connecting to. each other over a 1000000 times a 2nd as babies interact with the world and the people around them these

connections form pathways that wire together different parts of the brain so many pathways that starting around age 3 the brain hits the brakes and kicks in to use it or lose it know there's this kind of inflection point where the connections that have been used a lot get to be stronger and stronger the connections that are used disappear they are proof as people say and whether or not the connection is strengthened or dies back is experience dependent right it's based on our experiences so literally our experiences shape our brains our brains growth faster during the 1st 5 years of life than they ever will again and the older we get the harder it is to change what's there this is why the surly periods are so important if you miss the right experiencers who are if you just rocked those circuits then you have some weekend

foundation for your brain is going to have to deal with for the rest of your life. so what has the biggest impact on how well the brain gets wired. oh. it's not flash cards or fancy apps that build a healthy brain it's every day back and forth interactions with loving supportive adults school is basically anywhere with anyone on the show an average favorite game. relates. interaction is brain food for the child healthy development. i believe he does every day long us with a child are actually learning moments of the trial. of. growth that cooper oh. you given your kids this is so this really raises the stakes on

what we provide for children in the earliest years of life if we don't get that right then from then on we're basically fixing something that's broken. because. the good news is we know what kids need to thrive. the bad news we're making it harder and harder for parents to give it to them. this is the portrayed of a very important bright she is the wife the mother of america her job is to make a home the american of the day it is perhaps the most important job in the world. so we have all of this research from social scientists from neuroscientists telling us why it's so important to invest in young children from birth to 5 at the same time we have these all fashion notions around the role of women why should a baby be anywhere but with a mom until she's 3 or 5. families look very very

different than a day 30405020 years ago not that long ago a high school diploma good attitude was enough to get you would job with one salary to support one family with a couple of kids today there are so many families where both parents have to work if there's only one parent that parent is working more when they are in the workforce more women are in the workforce that have children under the age of 5. the demands of work are radically different the unpredictable work hours that families have to navigate for example you may or may not live close to your family and so that creates a challenge parents need to support this is not a luxury. you pretend that it's ozzie and harriet that is and you know there's someone who's taking care of the big one who's taking care of these.

i think they're all. hey. hey. i'm cooking. i don't want to go besmirching around. assists in like $10.00 a day playing the lottery to wish i could be. a start of a 1000000 what is a. sending her to a daycare center was not something i wanted to do for at least a year. but we're at a home where both of us have to work in order to survive. we have to work this years. it's not like the smorgasbord of child care out there. we are a lucky to finally found. it was

a scramble like we were going to childcare facilities every day to vail ability is slim and on. really only have a few options despite p.j. ratio despite the class size they all cost the same. of course it's going to require us to basically scale back some of our spending in the appropriate summer our savings account holders over. the years. i don't know how people do it i really don't switching to cover him or to change clothes. shopping. so tomorrow you have to go to school ok homo more stronger oh. no one's going to love your child the way you do nobody's going to care for your child the way you well. but i'm looking for the closest thing to it.

and. so sorry i'm not a hostage of the sea. fish. so rough fish so not ready for the soup to. stay at home i see you bring me. to.

the. most critical point because like right now right look at 8 it's right now up to 12 right now but i want to tell you that the investment you do in that young porsche from the very beginning gives you the best possibility of scaling this thing and be obstruction because branding and this will pay off dividends for this country in a way that nothing else will. shake gattis is about as close to living proof of that as you can get gattis is the executive. director of the flatbush y.m.c.a. in brooklyn. he also happens to be one of the subjects of a landmark early learning study this been tracking him for more than 40 years the advice of darien project launched in 1972 by researchers in chapel hill north carolina a study was designed to examine the long term impact of full day high quality early care and education on low income children like shay i started when i was 3 months

old i do have vivid memories and i remember so games possible still to come of things which today i can't stop planned possibles be quite honest with colson was. born a half decades in the results of the study are striking as a group gaddis and his former classmates are healthier they're better educated they make more money and they're less likely to have committed a crime and then a group of similar kids the study also tracked who didn't attend the program mom she had she shifting somewhat grandparents raised me from birth neither one of them had a 3rd grade education couldn't read or write and so from my own experience here's a child grow up with limited resources good was able to attain but level playing field in the classroom if i don't know that i was surnamed program probably one i

have a chance. we have a chance of being intergenerational poverty today in this country you're born into poverty odds are you're going to end up as an adult up with high quality early childhood education that's a strong possibility breaking that cycle i would suggest he and is one of several long term studies that show when it comes to children their earlier we invest the bigger the payoff for society compared to all the things then we do for the rest of their life we are writing checks that are so much more expensive than what it would have been had we invested when they were little and put a dollar. value in not having to retain a child you can put a dollar value on the health care implications long term $1.00 value in that meeting special ed you can put a dollar value on the child graduate high school getting a better job and not paying taxes in particular you can put our values and watch the front which you won't find a better public return than investing in early childhood education.

early brain infrastructure should be taken as seriously as other forms of infrastructure as highways and bridges and airports and those sorts of things this is our work force c.e.o.'s of big corporations they need young employees but play well with others they don't want just smart people they really want people that have good un-bush more skills good social judgment and so we have to really attend to the development of these parts of the brain that allows us to play in the sandbox.

hi we are in my room from east to our painting program is free and is for moms to have babies they can attend a program with the babies almost back of on say is a chain generation program that partners parent education about child development with early childhood education for little 10 to 3. almost 30 percent of people in waco in poverty there is that close and since the strikes in waco were one in 4 children go hungry. for. the one year old that that house one year he doesn't know how to set up. we weren't shot what that kid really like wow and you can't say anything doesn't have a piece of that was. you can work with children until you're blue in the face but if the 100 marmont is also not transformed that child's opportunities for success will be limited. we've been seeing the impacts of early childhood adversity

on health on behavior on life outcomes for a very very very long time but what we now know is the mechanism we know how early adversity leads to all of these different negative outcomes and that is what we now understand to be toxic stress. to understand toxic stress we've got to understand the stress response system itself the stress response system is this amazing evolutionary system that was designed to save my life and the folks who did not have all the stress response they're gone they got. so let's imagine you're. one year old in prehistoric time you've just woken up from your nap you're hungry and your loincloth really needs change so you step outside the cage and nobody's there instinctively you know something's wrong without adults there to care for you you're totally helpless and that's when your stress response

system kicks into gear immediately what happens is that our brain sends a signal to release stress hormones so we will ease adrenaline and cortisol and these hormones act to be a whole slew of changes in our brains and bodies our heart starts to pound our pupils dilate our airways and the brain tells you you're going to change your situation beauty to do whatever it takes to protect yourself so you do the one thing you can to tell the world you need help. and then dad grandma grandma comes along with your stress response system powers down and you know everything's going to be ok. fast forward 40000 years. stress is still a part of everyday life for babies and young children even if some of the causes are a little bit different. the

stress response involved to switch on immediately in the face of a threat now is the fact that i'm very head. but it's the comforting presence of caring adults that teaches the brain to switch it off when the threat is passed we're just talking about being responsive just loving a child see that when she sends out a signal that she's distressed or scared she can count on the fact that a caregiver is going to be there in some way to help address that situation. but what if the stress and a young child's life never stops violence in the home or in the neighborhood parental love addiction incarceration are mental health problems severe neglect or abuse and what if the adults around their child don't or can't help them cope. when children are experiencing situations of fear and adversity and they do not

have the buffering caregiver they continue to pump out high levels of adrenaline and cortisol and here's the problem. stress hormones things over actually starts to disrupt the developing brain circuits and then we start to see the health problems that are associated with toxic stress. toxic stress takes direct aim at the prefrontal cortex undermining a child's ability to concentrate control their emotions or get along with others a biological problem that becomes a behavioral one when a child gets to school the brain basically goes on fight or flight mode. so when they walk into a classroom they continue to respond as if they're in a stressful dangerous unpredictable environment but. to a teacher that child looks like they're just misbehaving that's a problem child. but the damage from toxic stress goes beyond the developing brain

there are also facts on metabolism on the mune system on the cardiovascular system with profound consequences for physical health and mental health when those markers are set in childhood they impact the way our bodies work for the rest of our lives . kids growing up in low income families are especially vulnerable to toxic stress today that's nearly half the children under 6 in america so when i think about toxic stress i think about how our cascades down electricity bill can't be paid your lights go out you can't put things on the table everybody's unhappy after a while adults are relating in certain ways but on healthy children are relating in certain ways that on healthy you're living in a community that's doing things that's not healthy and all of it begins to have a cumulative impact on a 5 year old so this is actually argues for why we should be sanctioned just about

the children because children live in families we cannot transform the lives of children if we don't transform the lives of their parents as well. as. part of helping families make that shift is helping them create a dream and a goal and then think about one of the steps that i need to do in order to make entering a reality. that was working and chicken plans for like 78 years working on the 2 plans. my 1st husband feels slightly entail a lot of times and i feel like to you care my kids from myself so that's why it is struggling me to go to both jobs i was born to work at 12 midnight get up to 6 and then go to hell speak of the babies get i'm dressed for school drop out of school and then go to my 2nd job 8 in the morning get a 5 by some fast forward take them to the bed like around 637 almost

and then he like it they don't they want to be outside work going and they're having 4 and i will sell sauce that i couldn't do it i'll work in the restaurant we're going to. find you. and i was 30 years old. and he and then i was one day on the street and then these girls were pressing fliers they tell me not is that a good program was it they can help you out if you want to finish she and they could ticket a baby for free and they teach you how to deal with the kids so i was like yes this is my 1st duty right there we're going to talk about the brain when you have you challenge his team lead an environment his brain is going to how can we exercise the brain seeing into our children read into our children talking to our children i'm a mom for 4 kids and i thought i was the best long i know how to take care of me kids

know what is going to tell me what to do or how to do it right but no learned a lot of stuff from them i couldn't believe it. and then my sorry ass umed program on him because now he's still around when he hears the sounds. are all of the bt lab large. 80 k. share now don't they you have to lose hope is that can do you love them you there we've done some calls so that teachers are like help you. remember. you know what it is what i love about have on say is their early childhood education is forward thinking is they want our child to succeed in the future but the e.s.l. ged classes and workforce development training is the here now so i'm going to gain the skills that i need to lift my family out of poverty this morning morning we're going to continue working on sunday and we also want to continue working on some of

your writing which are constructive responses always in my dreams i want to be a c. and a sort of a nurse assistance i mean you don't get paid a lot but at least try to start somewhere this program changed my life i didn't. i have a better job i can deal with my sons the internet in the school i learned to be a better mom i learn to understand my children and to be respectful to my kids they need to be as a. dream begin my marriage you believe need to keep tabs on things they say i think you're. on the lookout. for me. just i wish one big. mars like me have a. look at me so so you know we didn't do it

we are going to finish right. we're going to be a better better better mom. but this is a visit. i'm going to do it because i wanted to see that. they can do a. little. bit you might of the money you're going to be. looking. to. here come with me guys i found a really great spot where i think we're going to be able to find a lot of really cool bugs we're going to try to find bugs we're going to find out what kind of. well hold on our job is to find out what kind of bug it is so we can bring it into the yellow room and. we're going to show you're totally right

and we're going to act as a bug expert. so what does teaching and instruction and learning look like in a high quality program the world. looks like. why don't think it's a book or that doesn't feel like. grab a book or grab one of the books like why because we can look at that might be of some kind. in a high quality program you don't see a little kid sitting at desks you don't see a teacher in front of a room talking and talking and talking to a bunch of kids in the back of the room i think that's. what kind of a. i get. the next leg up is. you want to have a child who's in an environment where there's

a lot of play and there's a lot of ability to explore and you also need to have an adult there who's doing the scaffolding you know why we think it is in our classrooms what hank did. you see the teacher encouraging the children to explore and understand and learn from whatever it is they're doing i wanted to know and headlines around that really nice observation it's not just a replay but it looks a lot like but because everyone's having fun i don't think they're out there. and i don't see what if that is. what you think is going to say you know to everything that happens or are you saying the words to a child that we've found evidence of and kind of a kind of a green man to say. well let's look at a picture maybe let's look at one look at a tree actually it will not get a free man today and we'll see which one. 'd we can measure things like teacher ratios whether or not a teacher had a b.a. in a number of those are all very important what really makes a huge difference in

a child's life is how the child and teacher her child and interact with. us and we just take care of it. so what happened today. boys and grouse though it's not have are if we look it up look at that at. a little bit what a good at it i think these children will be lifelong learning mr new has playing the scene in them they won't always have a thirst for knowledge this is a place to take and so they give a little update as are a lot of great answers. one of the things that really can education providers fight against constantly is the idea that they're just babysitting. the babysitter is

the answer quick that's one big piece of it's brain building early childhood educators are scientists their emotional supporters are family advocates they're an educator their health care provider they're also a party planner because you have to keep children busy and occupied and engaged and you have to keep 20 of them you know i often tell people to think about their child's 2 year old birthday but it doesn't end after a couple of hours and they all come back the next day and the next. day it's wrist slowly. they are doing the work that will really fundamentally make a difference for the outcomes of these young children i want to be there miss honey i want to be the one that's like. that you can do anything this is possible like when they reflect on. their preschool experience i want them to have this weird memory of this person that may or may not have existed let them do things that they

don't quite remember but they remember being really cool and it's weird to think that i'm not going to have that impact anymore. we're. a teacher and. it's all of us how the fed 2nd. all of us really child teachers make like i heard 3 pretty clearly. as preschool teacher i. think i have said this is what like like you were 2 chaps your old car that you're going to hear it again but your shyness was the one time we had to supplement our incomes we had a chair like i'm not gonna lie i've been here 2 extra years because i make excuses . to dave we have higher expectations than we've ever had of what childcare teachers can and should accomplish. but we are

placing those expectations on the back of a workforce that is occurring poverty level wages. in this country the typical childcare teachers wages fall below those of the people who take care of our dogs who park our cars to make our drinks. childcare teachers earn in the bottom 3 to 5 percent of the national wage scale they've been at the bottom for the past 25 years and they haven't budged. it's not only unfair from an economic point of view it's down right stupid. right. off a. it's called. if there's one core message about development it's that it is cumulative and even

though it gets harder to change brain structures hard. change behavior as children grow up the door is always open to any picture it's the investment from adults that very distinctively human combination of caring for children and teaching them at the same time just in our everyday activity that really and it literally makes us human push. that all that concerned and i think everybody when it comes to their children has this feeling this is the most important thing in the world what could possibly be more important that means that it doesn't need to be fixed the way leave. it doesn't need to be replaced scuse me mr know what all this. a little. hard part is to get people to realize that that's not just true about my

children it's true about your children and the children and the people down the block and the children of the people who don't look like us or our children the same part of the city or are in the same part of the state or for that matter are in the same part of the world. until i read back. to white i just want to thank i call community home park 5 years. in the land of i'm going back to grad school but man after.

3 and like thanks my great. thing. every time i hear somebody talk about how worried about the future of america they're worried about where we're going to be 25 years from now in terms of an outlook for x. and then they're not really interested in investing in early childhood and i want to slap your forehead like what are you thinking how are we going to get all that foundation for all the things we want to see in society is laden's earliest years. at my great life but in the closest it gets me and my staff no matter what we're talking about. that the answer to help solve the problem is not a problem our. we have a deeper understanding of how important this are always. and once you know that you can't just put there if you're my. child my main.

playfield. in my 2 hands. you want to tell a. very homey answer the challenge that we have is that people will know we can't afford this stuff from a cost too much money people fail to ask is how much are we paying as a society because we're not putting those investments up front we need leaders in washington we need leaders in every community to step up and say no this 1st this is our priority every child should have access to high quality early education well that's a 2015 graduation ceremony here tahlia plan. if we get it done at the very basic level we have missed an enormous opportunity at the more egregious level we have failed young children and failed their families and failed to follow through on the promise of the american dream. and not

thanks. let me get this right now. to magically different luck early learning is not a panacea to fix everything in sight but when we can do is deeply. we are impressed this is such an amazing time. unlocking the secrets of the brain 1st. we never had a way to look into a baby's brain before. there are ways to build environments to optimize the way in which people grow. that's what we call a reach environment for children whatever we want to convert childcare preschool home we have to do it every.

day and yet. the latest trend if you. know gaining jobs picking up relatives this is how it was a monday everyone survived the country of st a little we wanted to make leaning up on the people's little do list including thousands of people have already flooding and nothing a lot of fun and the ties that it's easy to. offer to the village.

it's a constant companion. and it makes us ill. headaches dizziness and tonight it's as it says some businesses it can be caused by not. looking is that. and what can we do about it. in good shape. in 30 minutes on t w. more than a 1000 years ago europe witnesses a huge construction boom. christianity for established itself. both religious and secular leaders or an eager to display their power.
