Early Years Institute

Almost 90 percent of a child’s brain is developed by age 5. We have to make the most of the early years! To ensure that children have what they need to succeed, communities and individuals must invest early, share, play, encourage, explore and communicate.

The Early Years Institute educates all of us--parents, professionals and the public--about the importance of the early years, and brings together community leaders to make bold investments in young children to give them the best start in life.

Why should I upgrade to Internet Explorer 7? Microsoft has redesigned Internet Explorer from the ground up, with better security, new capabilities, and a whole new interface. Many changes resulted from the feedback of millions of users who tested prerelease versions of the new browser. The most compelling reason to upgrade is the improved security. The Internet of today is not the Internet of five years ago. There are dangers that simply didn't exist back in 2001, when Internet Explorer 6 was released to the world. Internet Explorer 7 makes surfing the web fundamentally safer by offering greater protection against viruses, spyware, and other online risks.
