Program Description
Event Details
Speech-Language Pathologist Jenn Fittipaldi leads preschoolers in fun activities that boost speech and language skills. Classes are designed to nurture early communication skills. Through interactive books, songs, and play, children will practice vocabulary, sentence building, listening, and social communication—all in a fun, supportive setting.
This class is ideal for children ages 2–5 who have a delay in their expressive or receptive language skills. If your child typically has a 1:1, please plan to stay in the classroom with them.
Jenn Fittipaldi, MA, SLP, is a CT and NY State Licensed Speech and Language Pathologist with a Master’s Degree in Speech and Language Communication Disorders and Audiology and a Minor in Child Psychology. She specializes in early childhood language development and has extensive experience supporting children under the age of five, including those on the Autism Spectrum. With a warm and playful approach, Jenn creates engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster communication, social skills, and a love of learning. She is passionate about helping young children build strong speech and language foundations during their most critical years of development. Jenn is excited to bring her expertise to the New Canaan Library community through interactive preschool speech and language classes designed to nurture language growth in a fun and welcoming setting.

3-5's Participation Guidelines
In this program, families may choose for preschoolers to participate independently or with an adult caregiver. If your child participates independently, an adult caregiver must remain in the Children’s Room for the duration of the program. If your child finishes a program early, or if a child becomes ill or behaves in a manner that interferes with other participants’ enjoyment of the program, they may be released into the Children’s Room before the program’s end time. Please ensure that your child knows exactly where to find you at all times. If a caregiver chooses to join, please plan to attend and be engaged with your child throughout this program. Please avoid side conversations or cell phone use for the duration of the program.
