Lettuce Learn

For Falkirk baby & toddler play groups, Lettuce Learn provides a unique start for your pre-school baby & toddler providing a research driven alternative to the traditional approach of baby & toddler groups.

Lettuce Learn are based in Falkirk where we provide a fun and an educationally based programme as well as to play groups and nurseries throughout Central Scotland including Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Grangemouth, Falkirk, Bo'ness, Clackmannan, the Trossachs and West Lothian.

By visiting your play group or nursery, Lettuce Learn, under the direct supervision of Dr Janice Rough, can provide optional activity sessions which focus on the optimising of growing young brains. The programme is based on established research that your baby or toddler's brain grows dramatically in their first five years.

Lettuce Learn is also available as a programme over 10 weeks which are delivered at Regional Centres throughout

• A fun, exciting and dynamic way to "grow" your child's brain.
• Enhances and nurtures the emotional bonding between the parent or carer and child.
• Promoting concentration, memory and language development.
• We have now extended our programme to include Young Children's Zumba, Yoga and Story Telling.

The Lettuce Learn experience is delivered in a fun and relaxed atmosphere within the familiar surrounding of your local baby & toddler group - nursery or at our learning centre in Falkirk.

The Lettuce Learn programme is based upon established research carried out on the formative years of a child where the key findings in learning science are:

    1.The importance of the learning envronment.

It is acknowledged that the learning environment is important whereby your child's brain changes physiologically as it encounters different environments.

"Environments that stimulate a child are most conducive for promoting growth of a healthy brain" - Wolfe & Brandt as cited by Baylor.

     2. IQ is not fixed at birth.

Wolfe & Brande state that IQ isnotfixed at birth...but state that the brain can continue to grow and develop throughout our lives.

This is a significant finding for learning and a wide choice of teaching options provided by the parents or carers will give opportunities for children to discover and build on their own identity.

    3. That there are specific sensitive periods of brain growth.

Another important finding is that there are specific sensitive periods of brain growth when certain abilities are acquired more easily than during other times.

Using technology at an early age with baby learning programs enhances problem-solving and critical thinking which helps to maximize brain growth and learning during these critical learning windows of opportunity.

   4. Positive Emotions are closely linked to brain development.

The final important finding is that emotions are closely linked to learning.

Supportive technology with appropriate content, visual and sound effects can be an excellent method for delivering the kind of positive emotions babies, toddlers or young children need for healthy brain development and learning.

Lettuce Learn deliver a scientifically researched programme which your baby or toddler will love to participate in and at the same time the parent or carer will enjoy the satisfaction of their child's development which will positively affect potential brain growth.
