This informative and interactive training will provide an overview of typical early brain development, as well as a view of what it is like to witness when a child's development differs from what we expect.  We will present some essential building blocks in fostering a child's potential by learning with the whole brain, movement, and through all of the senses.  We will also discuss and demonstrate best practices to promote growth in parenting/teaching strategies.  You will come away with strategies on how to work positively and effectively with a variety of children and, most importantly, with a deeper understanding of how movement & play is crucial to a child's learning
