Decades of research indicate that the early years of life are a period of exponential brain development, characterized by great opportunity and vulnerability dependent on the child's relationships and environments.
The Growing Brain: From Birth to 5 Years Old allows participants to develop skills and strategies to:
- Understand the architecture and neurobiology of brain development
- Support language, cognition, prosocial behavior, and social-emotional development
- Reduce toxic stress that can negatively influence brain development of very young children.
All sessions will be taught by Beata Grantier, who brings her expertise and knowledge as a Zero to Three Certified Trainer.
This program is funded through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.
