Baby
Connections @Home
Virtual Program
This pre-registered program is for parents/caregivers with children 6–12 months
Baby Connections @Home is a free community program from Strong Start that helps families develop literacy and language skills with their babies and provides each family with a take-home kit of resources. The program has been specifically designed for parents/caring adults and young babies, (6–12 months of age). This program is offered in partnership between Strong Start and Our Place.
Parents/caring adults, with babies enrolled in the program, first explore the resources as they participate in a minimum of four group or individual sessions. Trained Facilitators focus on delivering key messages, practical strategies and coaching around the importance of early, meaningful face-to-face interactions and their positive impact on babies’ brain development, creating the essential neuro-connections for later language and literacy. Additionally, the program ensures that each child has access to literacy materials at home by providing families with a kit full of quality literacy resources for each baby participating.
