“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.” The screening will be followed by lunch and a panel discussion led by The Florida Center for Early Childhood at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee Selby Auditorium in Sarasota, FL.

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.
