Stories, Music and Circle Time Activities
for Parents, Teachers and Caregivers of Young Children

Help to shape a child’s lifelong attitude about learning. Let your children hear the sounds of the language they are learning. Encourage them to express their developing thoughts and feelings through a variety of follow-up activities to the books you read together.
