Amigo Play is a program designed for parents with young children (primarily 0-3 years old). Whether you are a new parent or a seasoned veteran, this program can help you learn more about your child’s development and provide simple tips, tools, and activities to maximize the stimulation that you can offer your child.
Research from Harvard University has shown that in the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections form every second. The brain in a young child is growing at a rapid pace and having a strong foundation during this growing period has long lasting effects in a child’s future. You, as that child’s parent or caregiver, are the center of that growth and your interaction will make all the difference!
Amigo Play was designed and created by a team of Pediatric Early Intervention Specialists, including Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists who all specialize in working with children under the age of 3.
