Vroom

Did you know...

Everytime you talk and play with your child(ren), you're building a brain! New science tells us that the early years are when our kids develop the foundation for all future learning. Doing little things with them now makes a big difference for their future. Vroom is an app that gives you simple daily activities to do with your child that are age appropriate. Along with the activity Vroom gives you a Brainy Background, information that tells you what type of brain development is going on during the activity. Show us the Vroom app on your phone and receive 1 volunteer hour. Happy Playing
