We have designed this series to be a tool for parents to engage their child in music, while exposing them to letter sounds, colors and shapes. Our company does not encourage children to be placed in front of a television or our product used as a substitute babysitter.
We believe that Phonics 4 Babies stands out in this market because it has a unique blend of music, education and entertainment. It features all new and fresh sounding music written exclusively for the project and designed to be sung by the smallest of children. It is the only video designed specifically to engage babies and toddlers in early speech.
The video has a specific mommy role model, Mallory Lewis (daughter of Shari Lewis of Lamp Chop fame), and an easily recognizable supporting cast, The Tummy Tots. Children will be drawn to the warmth of Mallory and the cuteness of The Tummy Tots.
We believe that a child's learning potential at an early age is immeasurable. Phonics 4 Babies is proud to be able to contribute to your child's learning experience and future success. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to be a part of your child's life.

About Joseph and Cassandra
For more than thirteen years, Joseph and Cassandra have dedicated their talents to promoting children's education and safety. Phonics 4 Babies was inspired by their daughter, Athena Maria, who at 14 months had a very limited vocabulary for her age group. As any parents would, they relied on the best information and resources available. However, nothing was effective in helping Athena absorb words. Their research showed that this particular area was extremely limited. Nothing had the sort of "magic" that would impact and inspire fundamental learning. They felt strongly that for a series to be effective they would need to create a concept filled with songs, educational value and characters that would be embraced by children.
Joseph is also the founder and creator of SeeMore's Playhouse and Safety 4 Kids, a video series that sold over 2.5 million copies nationwide. Safety 4 Kids has been embraced by the The National Child Safety Council, the Missing Children Help Center, the United Children's Fund, Law Enforcement Agencies and Elementary Schools across the country.
