Little children learn so quickly that it doesn’t take a lot to make a big difference. Now you can give them a chance to learn anything and everything and enjoy every minute.
“The first six years of life are the genesis of genius.”
- Glenn Doman
The brain literally grows by use. How can we use the brain more effectively? It is all about stimulation and opportunity. We have pioneered the most effective and appropriate ways to provide enriched stimulation and enhanced opportunity to bring about brain growth and development. This enriched environment helps the child become more capable and independent. We believe that capable children are effective and happy children and they become effective and happy adults who are capable of making a much better world.
Our books, teaching materials and courses ensure there is something for every parent who wants to get started.

When parents understand how the brain grows they have tremendous power to help their children.
Our parents want their children to be fit and healthy, to love nature, appreciate music and art, to be at home in the sciences and most of all to be book worms able to learn about the world. Our newborn program starts from day one. The physical program, early reading, baby mathematics, foreign language, music appreciation and encyclopedic knowledge are all started one step at a time. Parents learn how to introduce anything that a parent and child would like to learn together. Each child is unique. Parents create a program that is right for their child, their schedule and their life.
Reading, math, encyclopedic knowledge and our physical program are all covered in this intensive, life-changing course designed to give parents everything they need to know about teaching at home.
Based on six decades of search and discovery, we have created a course for expectant parents and parents of babies 0-12 months old.
Thousands of parents have attended our courses, millions have read our books. Meet some of our kids.
My daughter, Hannah, became a Student Fulbright Scholar this week. I have fond memories of her crawling track, Bit cards, homemade books, my own school in our home, the two courses I took at The Institutes to be designated a Professional Mother, and so many other wonderful ideas.
A mother of six shares her adventures in early development at home.
“I have five children. This course was very interesting, very surprising, and worth it.”
“Thanks to the Better Baby program and my wonderful mother, it was much easier for me to change careers at a late age. For that I am very grateful.”
My son loves to learn, and we create so many fun games with our materials. (We play composer “bingo”. I laminated pictures of the planets so he can stick them to the bathtub walls.) Your program provides a unique opportunity to connect in a particularly loving and nurturing way that also allows me as a mother to remain stimulated and challenged.
“Recognizing parents as the best teachers a child can have, while also recognizing baby as an intellectual sponge, ready to learn from day one, is really what the program was all about for me.”
We offer a number of materials designed to help you and your family navigate your new path to wellness.
