What is Hatchlings?

Hatchlings Parent Workshop is a three-part series designed for expectant parents and parents with babies 0-4 months. Parents will explore ways to support baby's development with playful early learning activities.

Each interactive session is designed to stimulate baby's learning process and builds on the previous one. Parents will learn about supporting baby's development with books, songs, rhymes, and fun activities that they can do, together with baby, from birth. Each family will receive a FREE tote bag with a book, toys, and song book!

Why Hatchlings?

· Research shows that most connections in the brain are formed during the first three years of life.

· Reading and singing help your baby's brain and language development.

· Reciting nursery rhymes and singing songs help your baby get ready to read.

· Developing the tools to sing, talk, play, and share books with baby, from birth, can help build healthy habits and increase brain development, preparing your child from birth to succeed in school.
