Early Learning Happens Through The Senses


Exploring Baby's Senses

Early learning happens through the senses.  Babies' ability to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, as well as their proprioceptive and vestibular senses, allow them to take in information about the world.  In class, we provide baby with a variety of sensory experiences, with an emphasis on touch & sound.  From hearing bees buzz, to playing with bells, to feeling the 'wind' blown gently on their faces, these activities engage baby's senses.  Since babies learn and remember more when they engage their senses, these activities help them develop cognitively, linguistically, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively.
