Product Description:

Because every child's development is unique and all children vary in their approach to learning, experiences can powerfully impact brain development at this age. It is important as early childhood caregivers and educators to know basic information regarding brain development and how it gathers information. By knowing the basics of how the brain works, child care providers and educators and create brain friendly atmospheres that allow opportunities for children to manipulate their environment and construct meaning through real life experiences. In turn, if presented appropriately, those experiences powerfully impact each child's individual brain development. This kit was designed to provide resources and information to professionals to guide them as they work with young children to ensure a brain friendly atmosphere that promotes learning and provides safety and nurturing for every child.
