I have been filling in for the Tummy Time sessions until we get a new staff member on board. It has been years since I provided sessions for this young age group and I had forgotten how much fun they are to work with. The smiles on their faces and their wonderment of all around them is truly a joy to watch.

I was asked to provide handouts of the songs and rhymes we have been using and they are now located in the pocket chart on the large wall in the Youth Services area. I will have them at each session as well – both old and new. Take a look and give them a try with your child. Remember that the sound of your voice and the and the rhythm of the words are great pre-literacy skills and help with their language development.

The next sessions of Tummy Time are going to be held on Monday, October 24 at 10 a.m. and on Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30 p.m. Tummy Times are for kids from birth to age three and a caregiver. No registration is required.
