Special Screening of “Brain Matters” documentary
Multiple locations throughout Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and DeSoto counties
“Our brains may change several times during our lifespan, but our brain only gets built once.” — BRAIN MATTERS
Calling all parents, grandparents, caregivers, and friends! Join the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading for an official screening of the new, 72-minute documentary film “BRAIN MATTERS,” a buffet, and a panel discussion led by The Florida Center for Early Childhood.
In the film, Director Carlota Nelson travels the world – including Sarasota, FL – to interview scientists, psychologists, and other early childhood development experts to reveal the essential factors which go into helping young children thrive.
Together, we will learn how to positively influence our children’s brain architecture through family engagement and positive learning experiences, to prepare their minds for future opportunities.
