The Murray City School District is providing a free resource called The Parenting Suite by GIFT CONNECT to support families navigating early childhood. The tool is designed specifically for parents and caregivers of children ages 0 to 3.
The Parenting Suite offers interactive and personalized early childhood resources through a smartphone or web browser. According to the district, the tool is free of charge and contains no advertisements or subscriptions.
The suite includes three interactive features intended to assist with early learning and parenting questions:
Sammie, a 24/7 parenting companion that provides guidance on early childhood development in more than 80 languages via voice or text.
Geno, which allows for the creation of personalized songs featuring a child's name to encourage rhythm and language development.
Stacey, which generates custom storybooks where a child is the main character to help build early literacy.
Users can access the tools through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, or directly via a mobile web browser. The district also provides an overview video to demonstrate how the app functions.
