For children, learning is an ongoing process — one that continues even after the last bell of the school year. Just because families are gearing up for fun, sun and relaxation, that doesn't mean educational activities can't be incorporated into vaca- tion plans. Educators remind parents that time off from school shouldn't mean a vacation from learning. Research shows that the pre-frontal cortex of the brain is growing during the first 20 years of a child's life- and so the child should always be nurtur- ing, fueling and exercising his or her brain. A lack of learning activities during the summer months could result in lost stimulation during a critical development period.
