Who is it for?
Thrive Licensed Practitioners.
Thrive is a constant reminder about how important it is to know about neuroscience and how children’s brains are developing, especially during the early years. We can almost be like brain surgeons because children’s brains are able to forge new connections and adapt. What we do here really is shaping children’s futures."
Elizabeth Leer. Deputy Headteacher and Senco, Rothesay Nursery School.
