Your child used to be a tiny baby. Now they can walk, talk, climb and help. Bodies grow taller, hands and feet get bigger, and we learn to do new things. Growing happens slowly, so we don't notice it every day, but it's always happening.

Our bodies are busy all day: running, thinking, playing and growing. Food is like fuel that gives us energy, and water helps every part of our body do its job. When we feel hungry or thirsty, that's our body telling us it needs more.

Today we're learning C. For toddlers the goal isn't writing it. It's hearing the /k/ sound at the start of words like cat, cup and car, and connecting it to the curvy shape of C. (C sometimes says /s/, like in "circle," but /k/ is the one to start with.)

We met 1 and then 2. Today we add one more and get 3. Three is everywhere: three meals a day, three wheels on a tricycle, and "ready, set, go!" has three parts too.

Most picture books show red apples, so many toddlers think every apple is red. Today we look closer. Apples come in lots of colors, and some are more than one color at once. The U.S. grows more than 100 kinds of apples.

Today's question is a science question: if we put an apple in water, will it sink to the bottom or float on top? Most kids guess it will sink, because apples feel heavy. Then it floats, and they want to try everything in the kitchen.

Today we're learning B. For toddlers, the goal isn't writing the letter. It's hearing the /b/ sound at the start of words and connecting it to the shape of B. B is a great early letter because you can feel it: lips together, then a little pop of air.

Last week we met the number 1. This week we add one more and get 2. Your body is full of twos (eyes, ears, hands, feet), so it's the perfect number to find everywhere.

This week has been all about me. Today we zoom out and talk about where "me" fits in the world. Toddlers won't memorize all of it, and that's fine. The goal is to start the idea that home is part of something bigger, and to begin learning a few key facts, like the name of your street or town.

Toddlers learn body parts fastest by pointing, moving and naming. Today, go beyond head, shoulders, knees and toes: talk about what each part does. Eyes help us see, ears help us hear, legs help us run. Pediatric experts also recommend using the correct names for all body parts, including private pa

Today is about hearing that sound more than naming the letter. For toddlers, learning that letters make sounds (sometimes called the alphabetic principle) matters more than reciting the alphabet. We're focusing on the short /a/ sound because it's the one they'll hear most in early words. If your chi

Today we're starting our number journey with 1. For toddlers, the goal isn't writing the number. It's noticing that "one" means a single thing, and matching the word to what they see and hold. This is called one-to-one correspondence, and it's the foundation for all counting later on.
