What I remember most as a child are the trips we took away from my small home town in Oregon. One year, my parents took us to Mexico for Christmas. Instead of snow and our ornamented pine tree, we found sunshine, beach and an adorned cactus. Since then, I have had the great fortune to work and live in Europe and travel across Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America. Each adventure has definitely broadened my perspective of the world.
Becoming a new Mom is an adventure of its own! Since every Mom and Dad wants for their own kids to have great opportunities and a great future, why not create ways for our little ones to explore the world even before they might truly set foot there? Tot Talk was born.
Our guiding principle is that it is never too early to expose little kids to new places, languages and cultures (especially now that widely accepted research shows early exposure to languages enhance brain development and impact future test scores). While our products don't intend to either replace travel or robust language teaching methodologies, I hope they foster kids' natural instincts to discover "new frontiers", from French cheese making to Mexico's monarch butterfly and more! Tot Talk's products are designed to be fun and interactive; you can dance to the music, or listen and talk about a new language. Whatever it might be, we hope you enjoy the ride!
