Pre-K Singing

Sing with your baby! It’s a great way to learn about language. Singing slows down the language so children can hear the different sounds in words. Plus, the rhyming and rhythm of the words combined with the melody of the song is fun and enjoyable. Even if you don’t have a great voice, sing! Your little ones love to hear YOU!

Pre-K Talking

Talk to your baby! Children learn language by listening to their parents and others talk. Babies can understand spoken words before they can speak them. By talking with them, your child learns new words, their meanings, and it cultivates their brain development. If you speak two languages at home, it is extremely beneficial to speak both languages to your child.
