This class is designed to engage children in a group setting with their parent(s) or caregiver to give the little ones a wide variety of  creative, meaningful stimuli to support cognitive growth. 

 

We will enjoy songs in English and Spanish that together, with the materials that you will receive, will allow us to have: 

 

1)  Tactile inputs: being able to touch the different textures and feel the temperature of the materials provided and the environment around them.

 

 2) Sight inputs: observing the different shapes and colors that materials have, observing the people and environment around them supported by songs and games that we are going to enjoy

 

3) Taste inputs: putting the materials provided in their mouth and feeling their taste or temperature. 

 

4) Smell inputs: smelling the materials provided and the environment around them. 

 

5) Auditory Inputs: listening to the sounds of  the materials provided, the songs that we will enjoy, and hearing another language that is not their native one... etc 

 

6) Proprioceptive input: moving their body fast and slow, throwing things, filling and emptying containers, popping bubbles... etc 

 

7) Vestibular inputs: using their body or feeling through the mother's or caregiver's body with rocking movements and movements to work on balance.

 

 The importance of rich and varied sensory play experiences cannot be overstated. They are essential in the earliest years of a child's development and are the foundation of all skills children will use as they grow and thrive.
