Grow Baby Grow Babies and young children learn best through play!
Why is play so important and what kind of play activities can caregivers do together with their little ones? Movement is the gateway to learning during the first four years of life because sensory-motor and social development precede language and logic skills. GrowBabyGrow dancing playgroups are specially designed to delight babies and children ages 3 months to 4 years together with their parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
Virtual playgroups incorporate a variety of rhyming sing-alongs, playful props, and jamming with musical instruments (all from your own home!) as well as restful activities to bond and connect with each other. Little ones are encouraged to explore and practice new movement skills that support body awareness and motor development, encourage curiosity and resilience, nurture social and emotional growth, and lay the foundation for school readiness. Parents and primary caregivers are their child’s first, favorite, and BEST teachers! So what are you waiting for? Sign up for GrowBabyGrow with your little one today!
