It's the First Day of Spring... READ ALOUD to nurture a baby/toddler's mind, heart, and spirit... from the start!

03/19/2026

A MARCH READ ALOUD reminder: DISCONNECT TO CONNECT-- Babies & toddlers only learn language through interacting with loved ones who TALK, READ, & SING to them. Reading Aloud introduces new words and concepts, especially ones that may not be used in day-to-day talking.

Mama Penny and her new calf say,
"READ ALOUD to your babies and kids, from day 1, to connect hearts and minds."
(*giraffes have the largest heart of all land mammals!)
