Parent Night with Dr. Marcia Tate

Parents, grandparents, and school district staff are invited to attend a Parent Night with education and the brain expert Dr. Marcia Tate.

Are you interested in preparing your child for success in school and in life? Learn 20 ways to increase your child’s brainpower!
The greatest period of growth for the human brain is zero to four years of age, which makes a parent a child’s first and best teacher. Yet, there are few manuals that are given to parents to show them exactly how to perform this all important job successfully. Participants in this workshop will learn techniques that can help: • Get their children off to a healthy start • Build relationships with them throughout their lives • Equip them with the necessary structure for healthy brain development • Assist them in increasing their academic achievement Strategies parents can use to address the visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic modalities of their children will be modeled throughout. Many parents have stated that this workshop and the accompanying book should be a requirement for everyone who is raising a child.
