All Children Can

Language holds great development potential for young children

While most children eventually learn to speak their mother tongue, studies show that crucial gaps in language development can emerge by the age of two. These disparities arise from the quality and quantity of in-home interactions, meaning that some children may begin school at a disadvantage.  When language acquisition is taken for granted in early childhood development, it tends to reproduce existing inequalities.

Simple everyday actions can enhance the learning process

Adults contribute to language development by talking to children, reading to and with them, singing, reciting, playing with words and discussing texts. These activities help children use language to transform lived experience into knowledge.

Laboratório de Educação

Seeks to enhance young children's learning potential by educating adults on the importance of their everyday interactions in and outside of school. We translate, integrate and materialize scientific knowledge in order to help adults create meaningful learning environments for children through simple, intentional actions.
