If yes, we would like to invite you and your baby to participate in one of our language studies at Florida International University. We are investigating how children learn language. You will stay with your child at all times. We will be measuring how long he or she pays attention to auditory and visual stimuli. The entire visit takes only 30 to 60 minutes. We are currently looking for babies between 12-21 months of age. If you're interested in participating or would like more information, please contact us at the reply.*

Keep Your Child's Mind Engaged This Summer!

From Nancy Cooke Reply  

Summer offers a great opportunity to sharpen a child's skills and build new ones.  If you live in the Weston area, I am a certified teacher, offering  private tutoring to children from elementary through 9^th grade.  Perhaps your son or daughter needs to work on a  particular subject, skill set or wants a head start for the coming year.  A few hours a week of personalized attention can mean a big difference when school starts in the fall. I look forward to helping your child reach his or her goals.   Contact me today to reserve your space. *
