Your baby develops through:

- Physical growth and movement: Tummy time, reaching, crawling, exploring, strengthening and developing bodies.
- Communication and early language: Talking, responding to coos, builds your baby’s voice.
- Curiosity and exploration: Sensory play, textures, sand sounds encourage natural discovery and learning.
- Social connection and bonding: Warm interactions with educators and babies develop emotional awareness.
