Now Available: First Foundations Handbook. Your Go-To Guide for Supporting Little Ones Ages 1 to 5

We are so excited to share that our brand new E-Book, First Foundations: The Ultimate EI and Preschool Handbook, is officially here. This project has been in the works for a while, and it was created with so much heart and intention. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, therapist, or teacher, this resource was made to help you feel more confident supporting early speech, language, and feeding development in the real world.

At Move Play Say, we hear the same questions all the time: “Is this normal?” “How can I help my child talk more?” “What should I be looking out for?” And maybe the most common one of all—“What can I do at home?” That’s exactly why we created this guide — to combine our experience, evidence-based research, and realistic tips into one easy-to-follow resource.

Here’s What You’ll Find Inside

First Foundations covers the big topics like early milestones, red flags to be mindful of, and tips that actually work. It is packed with strategies you can start using today during everyday routines like playtime, mealtime, story time, and transitions. You will also find simple checklists, visuals, and real-world examples to help make everything more accessible—no fancy jargon required. This is not a textbook. It is a down-to-earth, supportive companion for anyone navigating the early childhood years.

Looking to confidently support littles with their language and feeding from day one? You are not alone.

Why We Created This E-Book

The early years are so important. What we do during this window of time really matters. But we also know that support can sometimes feel out of reach, or filled with confusing advice that is hard to apply in real life. Our goal with this E-Book was to offer you something grounded, practical, and encouraging. Whether you are supporting one child or a whole preschool classroom, we hope this guide helps you feel more prepared and more connected to the work you are doing.

Want More? Bundle It with First Foods

If feeding support is also on your radar, you can bundle First Foundations with our companion guide, First Foods. Together, they give you a complete foundation for early speech and feeding development from ages 1-5 years. These tools work beautifully together and can support you across a wide range of everyday challenges.
