Meet our LMNOP Co-Leaders

We are back in action with Language Music N Our Peeps aka LMNOP! We can’t wait for all of our families with little ones pre-natal diagnosis to 36 months to join us every Saturday this summer starting July 1st at 10:30am!

We are very excited to introduce you to our NEW Program Co-Leaders, Sanj and Shreya!!!

My name is Sanjana! I will be starting medical school this upcoming fall. Some of my hobbies include painting, baking, and going on walks with my dog! I have been a volunteer at GiGi’s for about a year now, most recently as a Literacy Tutor! I have had a lot of fun getting to know families, seeing firsthand the progress each participant is having because of the FREE programs offered. I am excited to bring my learnings from each person I volunteer and participate with into my education and future as a medical professional! I enjoy working with children and am very excited to be an LMNOP leader this year!

I’m Shreya, a rising college sophomore studying Neuroscience and Global Health on the pre-med track. Outside of school, I love to dance, bike, and bird-watch! I’m so excited to volunteer and support your family during the LMNOP program! I can’t wait to teach communication and transition skills along with you while having fun learning with music! 

Register on our Calendar to attend: www.gigisplayhouse.org/foxvalley/sfcalendar We can’t wait to see you every Saturday beginning July 1st at 10:30 am!

LMNOP is an interactive and engaging program for children ages newborn to 36 months old. ​This program guides parents and young children through learning basic sign language and other forms of communication using music and language based activities. ​All while preparing them for the next stage of life – Preschool!!

Goals of LMNOP include:

• Introduce and practice the use of basic signs/gestures/pictures to support language development.​
• Increase language development, with focus on vocabulary development, following basic directions and social interaction with peers using music, stories and play.​
• Introduce transitions and circle time; key skills needed to prepare children for pre-school and beyond.​
