💭Did you know that we host a “Spanish Time” during Sensory Playtime?!
When kids are little, their brains are able to learn new things very quickly due to neuroplasticity! Introducing new languages to kids when they’re little will help them expand how they can communicate with other people! If you have a kid you want to be fluent in understanding more than one language, including English, Spanish, sign language, etc., now is the time to do introduce them😀
Here’s an example of the Spanish Time activity we did on Monday, “El Rey/Reina Pide!”

📌Join us for our next Sensory Playtime on Monday, June 29th at 4:30pm at Central Library (Thielen Room).
