Sarah has three young daughters, all of whom have been instrumental in uncovering a hidden passion for advocating for children and educating parents about the hugely important role they are undertaking. Also a facilitator for workshops on Child Development and the Playcentre SPACE programme for new parents and their babies, Sarah is a passionate believer in conscious and respectful parenting and allowing our tamariki/children the gift of free natural movement. Initially based on instinct, the emerging neuroscience is now proving these approaches to be highly beneficial for the development of the next generation and it is incredibly exciting for Sarah to be involved in disseminating this critical information to parents and caregivers through the Brainwave presentations. |

As the National Foundation Skills Manager at GymSports New Zealand, Shelley is dedicated to sharing the knowledge of the importance of the first three years of a child’s life, and the impact that early experiences have on life-long development and learning. Previously employed by Sport & Recreation NZ (SPARC) where she managed the national implementation of the Active Movement initiative for 0-5 year olds, Shelley has worked in the area of Child Development since 2002, and during this time, has been fortunate to have had opportunities to work with many of the experts in this field. “Our society has changed dramatically over the past 20 to 30 years, in regards to our children’s social and community environments especially – it’s essential to the development of today’s children, and that of their future children, that they are provided with the opportunities that they need to develop to their potential”. |
