The Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) is an interdisciplinary center dedicated to discovering the fundamental principles of human learning, with a special emphasis on early learning and brain development.
The Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence is excited to partner with the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences to offer the I-LABS online training modules to caregivers for training credit!
Helping children achieve their full potential
All children deserve the best start in life and new scientific discoveries deepen our understanding of how to create the best environments for children. The team at I-LABS creates new and effective ways to bridge the gap between the science and the practice of learning by disseminating the latest science of child development.
Science has the ability to inform and transform children’s earliest experiences. Each I-LABS module explores a particular topic in child development, such as brain development, language acquisition, or imitation. Modules share evidence-based information about how young children learn. The modules are useful for understanding everyday interactions with children and for informing systems-level programs and policies.
Each of the I-LABS online modules is available in Spanish, Somali, Vietnamese, or English.
