Focus On Research

It is a well-known fact that during the early years, a child forms an enormous number of brain cell connections based on the kind of experiences the child has.  Enriched, active experiences lead to lasting connnections that a child can build on; whereas meaningless, passive experiences, lead to connections that are less useful in the future.  Which of the two kinds of experiences do we want our children to have? The resources offered in this website are designed to engage the child in meaningful, stage-appropriate experiences that maximize his or her potential.  Aside from articles, blogs, and FAQs, Dr. Jacob’s book entitled Your Baby’s Mind includes a large number of illustrated, easy to follow, activities for each stage of development.  Additionally, Inventive Minds has created a support system for parents where they are encouraged to contact Dr. Jacob directly by e-mail if they have a question.

For Organizations

Inventive Minds offers several products and services specifically designed with early childhood organizations in mind.  These resources include seminars, consulting, and printed materials.
