Educational Philosophy

Research in Education, brain physiology and in numerous others areas has shown that the intensity of development and information absorption during infancy is never again equaled. In other words, this means that infancy is the time in which a person can most effectively develop one's intellectual and creative abilities.
Therefore, it can be said that a person's character is molded by a chain of repeated stimuli during infancy. And because almost all stimuli are given by parents in this period, parents should try to communicate with their children in all forms as early as possible. Parents are the primary influencers and educators of their babies, because they, especially mothers, spend much time with their babies, communicating in such ways as breast-feeding, embracing, singing lullabies and gazing into the child's eyes.

In short, if parents want their babies to become good people, they, themselves, should try to be good communicative role models.
Early Development Activity Center (EDA) believes that the importance of education for newborn babies, and also for unborn babies, must be recognized so that children can have the opportunity to become excellent human beings.
