iPad Apps We Love

Please remember to limit the amount of time your child spends on your electronic devices. While educational and fun, these cannot replace the value of interpersonal interactions. Engaging your child in conversation and taking time to read to him/her daily are critical for supporting speech, language and literacy development.
