Wee Chat
Ages 0-2 with Caregiver
Wee Chat is a course for parents and caregivers to discover the wonders of infant and toddler
communication development. Babies and toddlers ages newborn – 2 years will engage in songs, stories, and play during our time together and developmental information and strategies will be provided for the caregivers.
In addition to the featured topic of the day, each week includes a discussion of a featured question (such as: "Do boys develop speech later than girls?" or "Do deaf babies babble?" or "Will a baby hearing more than one language reach speaking milestones later?") Songs, playful example activities, picture books that relate to the featured topic, and a familiar routine stimulate baby, while the featured topic is discussed for caregivers. Topics Covered: Receptive Language; Expressive Language; Speech Sound Development; Sign Language; Engaging with Books; Bilingualism
