Winter/Spring Themes

Mama Goose (January): Nursery rhymes endure for a reason. They are quirky, rhymey, and memorable–and are also magical for speech and language development, as they work to “wire” the brain for communication before speech even begins! What bliss to share something with your child that your parents shared with you–or better yet, to learn and share one for the very first time!

Peekaboo! (February): A house with a baby is a house full of love. (And fun…and toys…and noise!) Peekaboo! peeks into the “1, 2, 3, punch” patterns of repetition, anticipation, and surprise. Have fun with vocal play, sensory exploration, and learning through play.

Bluebird, Bluebird (March): Chirp! Tweet! Quack! This unit is a sound-rich flight (of fancy) into the sky, where you’ll explore birds, feathers, and the outdoors.

Nature Walk (April): Let’s explore the wonders and sensations of the outdoors!  We’ll use our eyes to look all around, and our ears to listen to all of the sounds we hear.  Plus, we’ll touch, and smell, and move, and play! There’s no feast for the senses quite like a Nature Walk.

Summer Themes

June - Bumpity-bump, zippity-zoom, babies are on the go! This unit is packed with move-move-movement, as spatial development takes focus. Activities that explore distance, speed, placement, reaching, dancing, rocking, bouncing, and wheels-on-the-bus-ing all get baby zoom-zoom-zooming to big smiles in Zoom Baby!

July - Good morning, sunshine, it is time to start the day! Babies can start their days in all kinds of ways, but the way to make the most of mornings is to establish a loving predictable, day-to-day routine. Up and at 'em routines and rituals take center-stage in Rise & Shine!
