Vroom: A Phone App for Brain Building

A child’s brain develops the fastest while they are between the ages of zero and five. Babies are born ready to learn and every parent has what it takes to help them! Helping children learn while they are young helps them prepare for school, friends, and the rest of their lives.

Vroom is a phone or tablet application that parents and caregivers can use to help their kids learn in everyday situations. Vroom sends fast and free tips to your phone daily and has over 1,000 free activities available in English and Spanish. Each tip or activity supports child brain growth and helps guide parents through ways to engage their child. You can customize the tip for your child’s age and select if you would like to receive extra tips at mealtimes, bath time, or bed time. Vroom tips and activities can also be accessed online using a computer.

Vroom is based on three core principles:

  1. Positive Adult-Child Relationships
  2. Back and Forth Interaction
  3. Life Skills that Promote Executive Function
