The "Saturdays with Sully" program features our fuzzy blue monster puppet Sully and his deliberately shy appeal to very young children. During these unprecedented times, we offer Sully as a friend, comrade and confident as part of our "At Home Together" online programming. Sully has long been our go-to puppet for socio-emotional programming: naming feelings, coping mechanisms, sharing, and empathy. Through virtual engagement with the puppet, children will engage in dramatic play and develop empathetic response. Through songs, rhymes, and repetition, Sully will enhance language, early literacy and communication development. This program is in collaboration with Starting Strong and uses the Clinton Foundation “Talking is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing” to help parents recognize their power to boost their children’s early brain and language development through simple, everyday actions. Today we’ll join Sully just as bathtime arrives!
