Whakamana i te tamaiti. Every childhood matters. That’s why we speak up about the importance of brain development in the early years. Brainwave’s vision is that all children in Aotearoa / New Zealand are valued and nurtured so they can reach their full potential. Focusing on child development and wellbeing education, we explore how tamariki develop, and how their experiences impact on their oranga, now and into the future. We do this based on science and indigenous knowledge. Brainwave is a charitable trust that aims to educate everyone involved in the life of a child about the importance of early experiences on child development and their lifelong impact. Brainwave has no political or religious affiliations and is known for relying on strong evidence and for the scientific integrity of all its material. Brainwave Trust has a passionate team of kaiako who share our findings with whānau and rōpū across the country.
