😊 when:June 10th 9:30am Jacket Park
🗣️Cost:$35 class extra $5 to take your child’s sensory bin home in a bag or $10 for a clear bin. Pick your base filler (colored rice, sand, rocks, taste safe sand, etc) Add in 3 manipulates and 2 tools. We will be showing you how to use your sensory bin for language and sensory development.

🗣️ Did you know nature can nurture Language development. Getting outdoors and inviting your child to engage in gardening, watering plants or just some messy play can also support your child's linguistic development. As your child helps, narrate their actions and describe what they're doing. This teaches them to use words for description and can introduce new vocabulary. Let them join the fun outside and watch how your child’s language will grow!

Big Talk Tip Tuesday! Positive praise is a beneficial and important part of your child’s development. When we praise children it is easy to just use “Good job” repeatedly. Use different phrases to praise your child, expand, describe, and comment on why they did a good job. Some examples are
⭐️ I’m so proud of you for cleaning up your toys!
⭐️ I like the way you are sharing with your sister
⭐️ Look at that tall tower you built! That’s awesome!
⭐️ Smiles, High 5’s, and hugs are also great ways to show positive praise and reinforcement

It’s hard to believe March is here! We have a lot of great things planned.
Mark your calendars for our group dates.
March 4 and March 25 9:30-10:30 Ages 18m-3

We also are offering St. Patrick’s Day sensory boxes and spring sensory boxes. Don’t want the box and just want the filler? We have that too! Message us to order!

🗣️ Did you know a simple trick to getting your little ones to imitate more sounds and words is to get down on their level or face to face. Seeing your face and mouth is going to encourage more imitation. Try incorporating fun sound effects or facial expressions throughout your routines. For example “uh-oh” with facial expressions when they drop somethingon the floor or “weeee” while pushing them on the swing.

🗣️ Did you know the first 2,000 days of a child's life are the most important time for their brain development. That's five-and-a-half-years from birth to kindergarten when children develop the skills and learning tools they'll use for the rest of their lives. So how can you help build those tools during everyday routines?

⭐️ The first 2000 days of your child's life, including in the womb, are more important in your child's development than any other time. Emotional, social, language, vision, hearing and so much more are at their developmental peak.
