Join us at for an immersive and hands-on read aloud activity, aimed to foster a love of books, boost early language skills, and provide families with practical tips for teaching early communication skills at home. The activities are led by a listened speech-language therapist and incorporate evidence based speech-language acquisition strategies. Three book clubs are available each Wednesday to provide specific support for various developmental milestones.
