Why do we do it?
Babies explore and make sense of the world around them through rich sensory experiences. These experiences happen in the relationship and interaction with their parent or caregiver. Research shows that sensory experiences support babies within their relationships with parents/caregivers and supports brain development. We recognize parents as the experts on their own child. We aim to support sensory and playful interactions and experiences between parents and their babies.
