The first five years of life are when the brain develops most rapidly. These critical years give you, as a parent, an incredible opportunity to create a foundation that encourages learning in your child throughout the rest of their lives. It starts when they’re young, and no coincidence, that’s also the most physically and mentally demanding years of living with your tiny human.
The folks at Vroom completely get that. They’ve created really helpful resources and tools to make brain building in those 0 – 5 years so much easier for us busy parents. And I don’t mean, carve out an additional 30 minutes of your day to focus on this. I mean, they have an app that pushes realistic brain building activities to you once a day. But its more than that. The app and website also have search functionality for those moments on the run where you can parent just a little differently. By incorporating these brain building games through simple conversations with your child, you’re giving them an early learning gift that will benefit them forever.
The more you talk and play with your kids in their first 5 years, the better they’ll do in school – and in life.
The folks at Vroom sent me a welcome kit to get to know them. It came with this fun bag with a brain building game on it.
And a set of brain building moments cards.
I couldn’t wait to see more, so I downloaded the FREE app.
The onboarding process for the Vroom app is super easy. If you’re child is older than 5 however, these tools aren’t for you. Or sadly, my Cupcake.
So I fudged her age in order to get the full experience.
Here’s an example of a daily message that’s sent to you.
Here’s a sample of the search function.
See? These are easy things you can incorporate into your daily routine.
Actually, they’re probably activities you’re already doing, just putting some thoughtful conversations about them that introduce a learning moment, and expand upon it to make it memorable.
There’s serious science behind it all, and some pretty brainy people to boot. Check them out here.
Vroom is also partnering with trusted community organizations and leaders to share these tools and materials too. To help local parents, The Commit! Partnership and more than 30 local nonprofits have partnered with the Bezos Family Foundation to launch this new mobile learning application in North Texas. Create an early learning nation is so important and now its even easier to get involved with the Vroom movement. How can you help Vroom further their reach?
