i love this app!! the visuals are all clean + gorgeous, and the activities have all been hits with my 8 week old so far. the instructions and videos are clear so i don’t have to put any extra mental effort into understanding them—i just get to launch right into enrichment time. and while some activities are already things i’d tried or had on my radar, there are others that i had never thought of!!! i love how well-sourced and well-organized everything is, and i’m really excited to keep using this as our baby keeps growing. i was so excited to get my wife using it too — it’s exactly what we needed and it came to us at the perfect time :)
Helpful and backed by science
