Additional Information
The HeadsUp! approach is based on years of research that confirms that:

• The first four years of life are the most critical with respect to the child’s level of intellectual functioning, motivation, and personality.
• Structured early learning experiences are more effective for development than random discoveries.
• Early learning Programs are more effective when parents are involved.
• Children learn through play.

These findings led to the development of the curriculum embodied in the HeadsUp! Child Development Centers. They are also the reason that parent involvement is such an important component of a HeadsUp! Child Development Center.

HeadsUp! Centers are also located in San Jose and Palo Alto.
