MI Stranger Family - Hands on Literacy activities

The first 1,000 days of a child's life can shape their future. We have one chance to do it right.

We all want the best for our children, but parenting is not easy. Therefore, UNICEF Egypt has brought together the best education experts around the world to help you with practical educational information and advice that you can rely on to raise and care for your child from birth to three years of age in the best possible way.

What is the importance of the first three years?

In the first 1,000 days of a baby's life, their brain develops tremendously, as new connections are formed between neurons in the brain at a rate of up to a million new connections every second - a rate that is not repeated at any age after that.

With every cuddle and kiss, with every nutritious meal you serve and every game you play, you are helping build your baby's brain.
