What is Brain Train?

The Family and Children's Center is excited to offer a free program where parents can learn to interact with their infant or young children in new ways! The Brain Train is focused on promoting engagement between the parent and child to meet developmental milestones, build positive relationships, become educated on age-appropriate play and safety precautions, and provide community resources for each family.
