Course Descriptions

Village Curriculum for Infants – 18 months:

Peek-a-Boo, I Love You! More than just a curious story, Mother Goose games like peek-a-boo help your baby understand language. So in this special camp, uncover more ways to say "I love you" using American Sign Language, soap bubbles, blue-star sponges, and parent-baby dances. Plus, you can meet with other newborns and families in the community and learn how music improves the child development process. Home Materials include: Book, CD, Duck Wash Mitt, Baby Duck, Gertie Ball, and Poster.
