SUMMARY:The Growing Brain from Zero to Three- The Basics of Brain Development
DESCRIPTION:          \nThis series developed Zero to Three looks at the neuroscience of the developing brain. The developing and growing brain is one of the most important topics in early childhood development\, as experiences in the first years of life actually shape the architecture and functioning of the brain. It’s the basic day-to-day experiences\, be they nurturing or not\, that set a child on his course of brain development for life. Clearly\, this is an essential topic! This training\, delivered by a certified Zero to Three trainer\, will help you to dive more deeply into important topics relating to brain development and how it relates to you\, the caregiver. \nThis training is designed to either be taken as a stand-alone module or as part of a series. \nDue to the current circumstances\, this training will be offered on Zoom for a reduced price. A few days before the training\, you will receive an email with the link to join the Zoom. This is separate from the automatically-generated email you receive right after registration.
