The Vroom Corner – February 2023

February is here already! It feels like it was just the holiday season, but here we are – starting the second month of 2023. Time goes by quickly, doesn’t it? Don’t miss out on opportunities to help you little one’s brain grow as their body does, because as anyone who has kids (or works with kids) can tell you – our children grow up fast. The Children’s Cabinet has a variety of resources like Vroom and Mind in the Making that can help parents and providers who are taking care of the future of our communities. 

Vroom Tip of the Month

Valentine’s Day reminds us to slow down and make sure our loved ones know how much we care. Saying ‘I love you’ and showing you care is one of the best ways to bond with your little one. This tip also turns saying I love you into a fun game that will help your child learn! Check out the tip and the brainy background behind it for an idea to use this February.

Learn the Science!

You can learn more about the science behind Vroom by taking a Mind in the Making class. These interactive sessions help us understand the science behind children’s early development. They also offer us simple, everyday ways we can promote strong life skills for the children in our lives.
The Children’s Cabinet offers Mind in the Making classes in-person and online for parents and providers. Please join us at one of our classes this month!
