STEP 1

Baby Brain Development

Age: Pregnancy (2nd - 3rd Trimester)

Combining classical music and affirmations during pregnancy is thought to create

a harmonious prenatal environment for baby. Experts suggest that classical
music's rhythmic patterns may have a calming effect on the developing brain.
This phenomenon with affirmations, both can contribute positively by fostering a
sense of security. Together, they aim to enhance the overall cognitive and
emotional well-being of the unborn child.

STEP 2
Baby Brain Stimulation
Age: 0 - 4 months

During the first four months, a baby's brain undergoes rapid development. Now is
the time to stimulate the your baby’s brain through sensory activities. Add
sensory videos, classical music, and soft, high-contrast toys into your daily
routine will promote early cognitive growth and sensory awareness.

TASKS SUPPLIES
Play sensory videos with red, white, and black
bouncing objects (15 minutes daily)

 STEP 3
Number Recognition and Counting Skills
Age: 4 - 8 Months (Infant)

Introducing early number concepts through repetition and embedding counting

into daily routines will, enhancing both cognitive development and parent-infant
bonding.

TASKS SUPPLIES
Number Recognition Flashcards (15 minutes): Show High Contrast, Soft Flash Cards -
number flashcards to your baby, repeating the Numbers
numbers multiple times.

Sing-Along with Numbers: Count with familiar nursery

rhymes or create simple counting songs.

Counting in Daily Routines: Counting fingers, toes, or

Items in your surroundings. Go outdoors and count
flowers, birds, and other visible items.

STEP 4
Counting and Saying Numbers
Age: 8 Months - 12 Months (Infant)

Your baby may be starting to grasp objects more deliberately and responding to
sounds with increased interest. This is the time to begin introducing numbers
through engaging storylines, songs, and interactive activities. Catchy music with
consonant sounds like "Baa Baa Black Sheep" or "If You're Happy and You Know
It" help babies distinguish sounds at the beginning of words.

TASKS SUPPLIES
Tell a simple and interactive story featuring
characters related to numbers.

Introduce simple number songs or rhymes.

 STEP 5
Writing, Hand Guiding, and Math Number Grouping
Age: 1 Year - 2 Years (Toddler)

Your baby may not know how to hold a pen that well (yet), but guidance goes a
long way. Between 1 and 2 years old, toddlers have developed fine motor skills
and show an interest in scribbling and exploring objects. Begin introducing early
writing concepts and math grouping through engaging storylines, songs, and
hands-on activities. This fosters a love for learning to write and math discovery.

TASKS SUPPLIES
Dry Erase Easel
Demonstrate how to make simple marks and lines Crayons
with large crayons and dry erase markers.

STEP 6
Math Equations and Word Problems for Toddlers
Age: 2 - 4 Years (PreSchooler)

Toddlers between 2 and 4 years old are naturally curious and eager to learn! At
this age, it’s important to engage their budding math and linguistic skills by
integrating numbers and words into fun and interactive activities. By
incorporating storytelling, songs, and games, we aim to make learning math and
language fun, yet memorable.

TASKS SUPPLIES
Play games to reinforce number and word
recognition skills.

Introduce simple addition and subtraction equations Number blocks

using objects.

Create drawings or crafts that represent numbers

and words.

Set up activity station where toddlers can explore

numbers and words through hands-on activities.
