Background on the Twelve Quotients and Learning Behavior According to developmental biologist, Jean Piaget, the human brain is not fully developed until late adolescence. In particular, the period from birth to 36 months gives a child experiences which shape the way children learn and behave. QQ Club understands that each child is unique, with a different temperament and growth rate, and must be recognized for his/her individual accomplishments and specific needs.
