Did you know that infancy and early childhood are crucial times for language acquisition? Babies have an incredible ability to distinguish all the language sounds of the world, but their brains quickly specialize in the sounds they hear most frequently. This means that exposing babies to multiple language sounds in their early years can have a lasting impact on their ability to learn languages later in life. So, if you want your child to have native fluency in a language, start exposing them to different sounds early on!

Did you know that language acquisition and brain development are closely linked during infancy? It's fascinating to think about how language learning at such a young age can actually shape how the brain functions for a lifetime. Exposure to a rich language environment during this critical period has a profound impact on cognitive development with a lifelong impact.

๐ŸŒŸCaregivers put a little extra magic in their voices when they are speaking to their little ones. ๐ŸŒŸ

You have probably heard a caregiver change their voice when talking to their little one. Most people call it baby talk and there is an actual scientific reason adults naturally do it. The scientific term is infant-directed speech and what you are actually doing is using simplified grammar, higher pitch, repetition, shorter phrases, and positive emotional tone. Using baby talk makes it easier for babies and toddlers to learn language and that's why all of our content is created exclusively in baby talk ๐Ÿ‘ถ

Foreign Language for Your Baby

smallTalk is an Ohio-based consumer technology startup that is developing technology licensed from the Baby Brain Optimization Project Research Lab (BBOP Lab) of Nationwide Childrenโ€™s Hospital, in Columbus, Ohio.

The company is founded by Dean Koch, an experienced startup executive, and Dr. Nathalie Maitre, a physician scientist focused on developmental interventions for infants and young children.

smallTalk enables infants to interact with foreign language lullabies, songs, and stories in awe-inspiring ways, setting them on a lifelong pathway of language learning and unlocking developmental benefits that can only be accessed during infancy.

smallTalk products are designed with active learning concepts, using an age- appropriate intentional action from the infant to trigger a reaction from the product โ€“ audio of our exclusive foreign language content created specifically for infants.* This contingency is where the magic happens. This is where an infant begins to create changes in their brain that prime them for a lifetime of foreign language learning while also increasing attention span, creativity, and musicality.
