Noggin's Big Heart Beats Album
Listen, sing, and dance along to “Celebrate Our Difference,” the third song from Noggin’s Big Heart Beats album. “Celebrate Our Difference” is by Chris Sernel (A.K.A. Oh, Hush), Grayson DeWolfe, and Matt Richert (A.K.A. Mattrik). It’s a celebration of all the things that make us different — and a recognition that it’s the things that make us different that make us special.

Why LearnHeart Skills?
In the early years, children’s brains are wiring up. They’re learning math, literacy, and science skills. They’re growing strong muscles. Social and emotional learning is at the HEART of it all as children learn to understand themselves and how they relate to others. The heart is a MUSCLE and growing kids with strong hearts takes practice. Start early and stick with it!
