Speech and language development products – vote for our favorite

Children with language delays can’t always afford the costly therapy they need for services with a speech pathologist.  However, now they have resources to use at home developed by an expert in the field of speech and language development, Karla Duncan.  Her passion for educating little ones that struggle more than the norm with speech and language development is empowering to me personally and professionally.  Living with a child of my own who has delayed language abilities and seeing so many of my kindergarteners struggle, it is a blessing to see Karla offer such a wonderful product to parents.

As many of you know my company, Wiggle Giggle Learn was a potential finalist for the Yahoo! Seeds for Success empowering woman entrepreneurs grant in April 2008.  Although we weren’t named one of the three finalists we have been watching them closely.  Now the contest is coming to an end and you can support your favorite entrepreneur.

Wiggle Giggle Learn supports Karla Duncan of Head2Toe Publications.  Head2Toe recently unveiled their first product and it is a great learning and teaching tool for parents, caregivers and teachers.  I hope you all will check out her website and vote for Head2Toe to win the Yahoo! Seeds for Success contest that ends very soon.  You can vote once a day and make sure to tell all of your friends.

Early education… from birth

The Indy Baby Expo was an exciting event for new and expecting moms and dads in Indianapolis, Indiana.  As a gold sponsor of the event, Wiggle Giggle Learn enthusiastically listened to the stories and wish lists of these families.  We heard expecting parents clearly tell us that a good education was the number one priority for their child.  Needless to say, this made our weekend!  We believe early education is the key and so do parents!  HOORAY!

We are thrilled to finally offer parents of infants, toddlers and preschoolers a resource guide full of developmentally appropriate games, activities and tips for boosting brain power in their little ones.  We know that the brain is developed and not inherited.  What and how you interact with your child, the environment you set up for your baby and the amount of stimulation all make a difference in how the brain’s “file folders” are developed.  What matters in early learning is repetition, patterns, sensory experiences, communication and active engagement.

Parents at the expo said it the best… so you are answering the biggest question I have – “what should I be doing with my child at home before he goes to school (so I know she is ready)?”   So now you know your child’s brain develops the most during birth to age three and you want to make sure you are capitalizing on all learning opportunities for your baby, then what is available as a resource?  Now you can visit Wiggle Giggle Learn.

At Wiggle Giggle Learn you will find our exclusive Play2Learn activity plans that guide you through how to help develop your child’s brain power from one month of age to four years.  Visit Wiggle Giggle Learn today to see samples and see many other resources.
