 ree-session series is designed for expectant families and babies 0-4 month
 s and their parents/guardians. Each interactive session is designed to sti
 mulate babies' learning process\, and each session builds on the previous 
 session.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Each session will have a different focus for famil
 ies:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Session 1: Baby&rsquo\;s Brain October 1

 >Session 3: Building a Routine October 29</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>FUN FACT
 S:</strong> Reading and singing help your baby's brain and language develo
 pment. Reciting nursery rhymes and singing songs help your baby get ready 
 to read. Babies who have been exposed to books and reading grow up to beco
 me children who perform better in school.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This works
