Jennifer Garcia RosendoHostCan you tell us a little bit about Vroom, what it is and how it supports families with young children?

I feel like before I even share what Vroom was, I was using it before I worked for Vroom.

So I was kind of that connector between teachers and families in and out lots of different classrooms.

And I found Vroom as a perfect tool to support families and with everything that we're doing in the classroom at home.

So in a nutshell, Vroom is over 1,000 tips or activities to support parents educate their kiddos and understand the brain science behind early childhood development.

They wanted to amalgamate the wealth of information that we already have about these first five years of life.

We know they are the most critical in our whole entire human lifespan, right? The brain will never grow faster.

So we wanted to take all that information and turn it into really easy, actionable, doable steps that parents can actually do in their everyday parenting to make a positive difference on their child's brain development.

So there's over a thousand activities to help parents do more, is what I kind of say.

But Vroom really is over a thousand activities to help families turn those everyday moments into a brain building moment.

anything from like a diaper change to a mealtime to a car ride to a grocery store run, all of those daily things that we do with our babies and children, we want to make those moments count.

So Vroom has all these wonderful little activities that you can do to engage in brain building and really just enhance those moments that already exist.
