Circle time is one of the most important parts of the day. It’s where children build language skills, practice listening, learn routines, and develop a sense of community. At circle time, every child has a chance to learn, share, and shine. 🌟📚🧒👧 #crisscrossapplesauce

Toddler Tip: Listen to music and clap to the beat. Or sing and move your child’s hands and arms to the rhythm. Or bounce them gently in your lap. Count along with the rhythm. Connect and have fun! 🎶 @GADeptEarlyCare
