Enriching young brains

Young brains develop at an astonishing rate and neuroscience research shows that the sensitive windows of opportunity for concept development are typically from birth to about six years.  Kaleidoscope offers practical ideas for ensuring young brains are stimulated and children are prepared for school; their first independent step into the world.

Understanding the teenage brain

Adolescence is a difficult time – for the young person and his/her parents alike.  Kaleidoscope workshops will offer insights into the changing teenage brain and will help you maintain your sanity and support both you and your teenager in surviving the adolescent years

 

Speech and language development

Increasing numbers of children are presenting at school with speech difficulties.  Speech is a tool for communication, social interaction and thinking.  Speech delay can seriously disadvantage young learners.  Kaleidoscope offers practical ideas for supporting speech and language development from in-utero, through infancy and into childhood.

 

Raising Readers

There is no question that the capacity to read is critical to a child’s academic learning.  Help is at hand to ensure your child has the best possible start on his/her formal educational journey
