Brain Development 101: Everything you need to know about nourishing your child's creative, confident mind in the first year of life! (0-12M)  with Evelyn Nichols

For parents of babies 0-12 months

You've probably heard that your child's brain develops most in the first three years of life, but did you know that more than one million neural connections form per second during this time? During these early years, parents have the amazing opportunity to nurture their child’s growth and development through connected, responsive caregiving. 

Learn more about the following topics:

· From Routine to Ritual: creating opportunities for bonding, learning, and growth through everyday caregiving tasks like diaper changes, bath time, and feeding times.

·  Language development milestones and strategies to encourage language development in the first year of life

·  Ideas for playtime activities, Floor Time, and parental engagement strategies to develop the architecture of your child's brain and build connections for lifelong skills like problem solving, self-control, and emotional intelligence.

Babies are welcome to attend!

We love Early Childhood Matters! We’ve done their weekly classes for years with both of our kids, and have had amazing experiences with both Teachers Rebecca and Alexis. And this summer we did their weeklong all day camp, and our child told us it was the best camp ever. Our child had so much fun each day and it was such a great experience. The teacher to camper ratio was so good, I felt confident dropping our child each day. Highly highly recommend any programs with ECM!

We loved outdoor explorers- it was engaging, fun, and a special time with my kid. I’d highly recommend anything Early Childhood Matters hosts!

We have enjoyed taking this class and even after the first session, we had action tools to apply with our toddler.
This is a small group so there is enough time to be heard and work on our specific needs. You need to get the book and do some homework to get the most from the class but it is worth it.
We now have the tools to break abusive cycles and power struggles for our children. Thank you, ECM.
