Grow through conversation. 🥧✨

Rake up some fun this November! 🍂
While playing outside, practice speech sounds or describing words:

✨ “Big pile,” “soft leaves,” “crunchy,” “colorful”

Play + Talk = Powerful learning!

🍂 Hello, November! 🍁
A new month is here- and with it, so many opportunities to slow down, connect, and communicate.

✨ Learning Tip:
Use everyday moments to build language skills! During your daily routine- like setting the table or getting ready for bed- narrate what you’re doing and invite your child to join in. These small chats add up to big progress over time.

We are looking forward to cozy conversations and continued growth this November. 💬🤎
