Family Engagement at ECS4Kids
At ECS4Kids, we believe that learning begins at home with parents and caregivers. Engaging families in early childhood development plays a vital role in strengthening a child’s cognitive skills and brain development. Explore our helpful resources designed to support family involvement and promote early learning.
What is Vroom?
Vroom was created to help parents turn everyday moments into powerful opportunities for brain development. Vroom is based on the latest neuroscience, psychology, and early childhood development research, making it easy for parents to support their child’s growth.
Vroom shows how common interactions — like mealtime, diaper changes, and playtime — can foster a child’s cognitive skills. Each tip comes with a Brainy Background that explains how the activity builds a child’s brain. The best part? Vroom fits seamlessly into your busy life, requiring no extra time or money.
The Daily Vroom app is a free, easy-to-use tool that delivers custom tips to your smartphone. You can also search for tips based on where you are or what you’re doing, like shopping or doing laundry. Vroom empowers parents to make the most of every moment. Join the 100,000+ families already using Vroom by visiting Vroom.org or downloading the Daily Vroom app on the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.
