Exploring bird sounds with children

“What does a bird say?”  A lot more than tweet, or chirp.   Most children only consider one sound, but an observant child with more experience in bird sounds might ask, “What kind of bird?” 
Fun vocal play with different bird sounds can open up the world of birds, and sounds, with your child, and can have [...]

Peekaboo, I Love You ! Connecting with babies

The game “peekaboo” is the most basic of parent-baby games, yet one of the richest.  In one simple gesture, baby’s beloved adult magically appears in response to baby’s desire – smiling, looking only at baby, telling baby with face and eyes alight, “I am here just for you, whenever you need me; you are adorable, [...]

Reflections of Spring: Village – Dewdrops

The soft touch of flower petals, the sweet smell of roses, the dampness of a dewdrop, the clear high tone of the bells, these are a few of our favorite things in the Village Dewdrops program.  We truly explored the theme of the Irish Gardens, including the bouncy trotting of horses.  The babies delighted in the many sounds, smells, [...]
